Research Interests
In recent years, mechanical signals have become widely recognized as being critical to the proper functioning of numerous biological processes. This has led to the emergence of a new discipline, cellular mechanobiology, which bridges cell biology with various disciplines of mechanics (including solid, fluid, statistical, computational, and experimental mechanics) and which seeks to uncover the principles by which the sensation or generation of mechanical force alters cell function. My research interests are in enabling new musculoskeletal therapeutics through the use of mechanobiological processes. Currently, my specific research interests are in integrating mechanics, experimental biology, computation, and imaging in new ways to discover new mechanobiological principles using systems-level approaches.
