I am currently an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. In addition to biomedical engineering and perfusion (heart-lung support), I also teach electrical engineering and computer science. My research interests include computer modeling of biomedical systems and devices, design of artificial organs, development of new methods for preserving organs for transplantation and development of new types of biological sensors.

I have B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, all from The Ohio State University. My graduate work included biotechnology and bioengineering courses in addition to traditional science and engineering courses. My graduate research projects involved a new artificial kidney process and carbon dioxide removal from blood. See my online résumé for more information.
