Research Interests

Research interests focus on image based computer aided engineering, computational study of tissue-structure function, design and manufacture of materials for scaffolds in tissue engineering approaches, and experimental and computational study of connective tissue adaptation. The overall research goal is to use computational methods to analyze tissue structure function, use this information to design tissue replacements for defects and diseased tissue, and then manufacture these tissues replacements from biomaterials using rapid prototyping methods. Current collaborations include Dr. John Halloran and Dr. Tien-Min Chu from the Materials Science Department and Dr. Stephen Feinberg from Oral Surgery to test these measures in craniofacial applications.
