Education

Post Doctoral Training, Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, 1998 – 2002
PhD & MSE, Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania, 1991 – 1998
BS, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Cornell University, 1987 – 1991

Research Interests

Research foci include the multi-scale analysis of CNS injury mechanics; biomaterial, tissue, and cellular engineering approaches for repair and restoration of neural functions; a biophysical analysis of traditional acupuncture; and the development of technology for electropration that is grounded in electrohydrodynamic theory.
