Areas of Specialization

Biological Fluid Mechanics

Ultrasonics

Hemodynamics of Platelet Adhesion

Hemodynamics of Vascular Grafts

Turbulence in Biological Flows

Research Areas/Interests

Shear stress regulation of intimal hyperplasia - How do fluid mechanical phenomena influence the growth and adaptation of arteries at surgically constructed junctions?
Platelet activation/adhesion interaction - How do the hemodynamic phenomena which govern activation and adhesion of platelets interact to cause localization of thrombus formation?
Receiving arrays in Doppler ultrasound - Can receiving arrays be used to reduce the noise inherent in Doppler ultrasound signals?
NSF Sponsored Undergraduate Experiences in Micro and Nano Engineering
