Research Interests

My research activities focus on modeling the mechanical behavior of biological systems at cellular and tissue levels. Specific topics of interest include the biomechanics of leukocytes and other living cells, rheology of blood clots, mucus transport in lung airways, and biomedical applications of gas microbubbles (contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging, shock-wave lithotripsy, and drug delivery). The main objective of this research is to integrate computational modeling, in vitro and in vivo experiments to improve understanding of the behavior of biological systems under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Honors and Awards
