研究领域
My research interests are broad, including a number of areas in biomaterials and biomechanics. My doctoral research concerned the histological and mechanical evaluation of bone ingrowth and appositional attachment mechanisms to porous coated Ti-6,4 and LTI carbon femoral endoprostheses using the canine model. I have also directed projects involving bone attachment to ceramic and carbon dental implants, retrieved porous coated implants in the human, metallurgical evaluations of retrieved stainless steel intramedullary rods, qualitative evaluation of articular cartilage wear against Ti-6,4, carbon, silicone, and zirconia hemiarthroplasties, and tissue reaction studies in response to Bion and hydroxylapatite in canine and rat models. Also, I am directing a project involving dynamic finite element analysis of the human head-neck response to indirect impact that is based on depicting the primary interacting motion segment anatomical structures driven by motion segment kinematic data obtained from analysis of cadaveric human head-neck specimens.
While my research interests remain broad, I have begun a more focused effort to develop computational models of the soft tissue structures of the eye, including those potentially related to glaucoma. Recent, on-going, and planned investigations include modeling the disinsertion of the optic nerve head, the use of applanation tonometry to measure aqueous outflow, the development of modeling techniques to represent ciliary body – zonule contraction during accommodation, including potential effects on the strain field around the canal of Schlemm, as well as the development of techniques to represent residual strains and their effects in various ocular tissues. I am also a co-investigator on an NSF grant to develop aids for the disabled.
