The role of soft tissues in cranial biomechanics - an investigation using advanced computer modellin Jul 1, 2015 - Dec 31, 2018
Unlike the mammalian skull, where the relatively large brain is enclosed in a shell-like bony capsule, the skulls of reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and dinosaurs form an open framework of bars and openings wrapped and supported by a large quantity...

A new framework for computational biomechanical models and 3RS in musculoskeletal research Jan 1, 2019 - May 31, 2023
The primary purpose of this study is to develop a new framework for understanding the validity of computational models of soft and hard tissue biomechanics and physiology. We will develop biologically validated biomechanical models of rabbit mastica... Read More about A new framework for computational biomechanical models and 3RS in musculoskeletal research.

Functional Morphology and the Biomechanics of Feeding in Squirrels Sep 1, 2020 - Aug 31, 2023

Feasibility of a physical experimental platform to advance research in forward and inverse electrocardiography Sep 1, 2021 - May 31, 2022
A new and exciting method of diagnosing heart disease is emerging. Currently the electrical signals which control the heart rhythm are only accessible by highly invasive studies performed by cardiac electrophysiologists placing catheters into the hea...
