We study the development, function and evolution of somatosensory and motor systems using insect larvae as models.

PI looking for undergraduate research volunteers. My lab is a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary lab that combines the physical sciences, engineering, and surgery. We study aortic pathologies, stability and failure of endovascular repairs, stress focusing phenomena induced by surgical interventions, and interfacial adhesion, surface renewal, and topography.
Surgery is anatomy. Anatomy is geometry. Geometry is the heart of mechanics.
SurgBioMech Lab studies the geometry and biomechanics of surgical anatomies and biological interfaces.
