Research

Current research projects are roughly divided into three areas, and a fourth section describes past research:

• Indentation and Nanoindentation
  • Poroelastic indentation analysis
  • Indentation for Cancer Diagnosis
  • Viscoelastic Indentation of Polymers
• Mechanics of Tissues and Biomimics
  • Biomimetic Bone-Like Materials
  • Mineralized Tissues as Composite Materials
• Obstetrics and Biomechanics
  • A “Virtual Placenta” model for understanding oxygen transport
  • Fracture mechanics of the fetal membranes in preterm birth
• Past Projects
  • Cartilage Tissue Engineering
  • Impact Biomechanics
