My current research includes three bio-related focus areas: 1) Tissue Engineering, 2) MEMS sensors, and 3) Computer-Aided Surgery. To effectively carry out this research, I work with multidisciplinary teams from The School of Computer Science (Robotics), The College of Engineering, and The Mellon College of Sciences.

My research in tissue engineering involves the development of CAD/CAM systems that can fabricate biologically-inspired biomimetic scaffolds with 3D spatial patterns of growth factors, with a focus on bone regeneration.

My research in MEMS involves the development of 1) biological and chemical sensors to detect environmental toxins, and 2) implantable telemetry-based sensors for assessing tissue regeneration.

My research in computer-assisted surgery (CAS) involves the development of cost-effective, easy-to-use CAS systems for orthopedic applications.
