Research area:
Life-cycle risk analysis for buried
waste. I am working to develop a
framework for management of buried
radioactive and hazardous wastes.
Waste management is complex and
currently the standards for
assessment and management are
inconsistent and not sufficiently
communicated to people who are
potentially affected by them. The
framework I am developing will
enable consistent and transparent
evaluation of the life-cycle risks
and risk trade-offs associated with
buried waste disposition. (more)

Research area:
Biomedical optics. My research
exploits a novel method for nerve
stimulation that uses pulsed
infrared laser light for
contact-free, damage-free,
artifact-free stimulation of
discrete populations of neural
fibers. By optimizing key laser
parameters and unraveling underlying
mechanisms of action, a laser
stimulator with unmatched precision
may soon be a new clinical tool in
medical procedures. (more)

Research
area: Chemical engineering, bioengineering. I am
working on injectable bone scaffolds for use in bone defects
such as fractures from trauma, surgery or and osteoporosis).
These scaffolds are biocompatible and biodegradable and contain
various growth factors to promote bone healing. The patient's
own bone cells grow into the scaffold, after which the scaffold
biodegrades to leave only the healed bone. (more) |

optimization
under uncertainty for structural health monitoring systems. Our
methodology will help accurately assess the damage, reliability,
risk, and remaining life of structures such as buildings,
bridges, and flight vehicles. (more) |

Research
area: Radiation effects and reliability, electrical
engineering and computer science. My research focuses on the
impact of radiation on computer circuitry, particularly in the
space environment. I am examining the effects of single ions on
radio-frequency circuits and am developing methods to “harden”
circuits to protect them from this type of radiation. (more) |

Research
area: Medical robotics and robotic rehabilitation. I
am working to develop robotic devices that can help aged and
disabled people during therapy sessions. I am also working on
ultrasound imaging technology that can guide needle insertion
during breast tumor biopsies to increase precision and decrease
pain and tissue damage. (more) |
