I am an assistant professor in the Bioengineering Program at Union College. 

I am a graduate of RPI (Class of 2000, 2003, and 2006) with degrees in Biomedical Engineering (B.S. and Ph.D.) and Mechanical Engineering (M.S.).

My area of research is bone healing both in fractures and around implants.  I have an interest in cell-tissue-implant interactions and the effects of strain fields on bone healing.
