Gallant, Nathan D. - University of South Florida - Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering

个人简介

Nathan D. Gallant is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Florida. Professor Gallant joined the USF faculty in August 2008 following a National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the Polymers Division. He graduated with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Cooperative Education Certificate from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1999. He went on to earn M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2003 and 2004, respectively, working in the lab of Andres J. Garcia. Professor Gallant is an NSF CAREER award recipient for his work developing combinatorial biomaterials for mechanobiology.
