Our research interest is focused on soft tissue biomechanics and tissue engineering.

The goal is to: (i) identify the essential mechanisms that determine the optimal physiological functions, (ii) determine the structural and mechanical abnormality in diseases and injuries, and (iii) facilitate better biomimetic replacement development, surgical intervention, and protective designs.

The current projects involve:

1. Tissue Biomechanics (heart valves, arteries, brain, liver, and other soft tissues)

2. Tissue Engineering (myocardium, heart valves, and amniograft)

3. Computational Simulation (brain injury, maternal injury, and human digital model)

4. Medical Imaging (early myocardial infarction detection with diffusion tensor MRI).
