Professor Billiar studies the mechanisms by which mechanical forces regulate the development and healing of connective tissues and the pathogenesis of disease is becoming one of the foremost problems at the intersection of biomechanics and cell biology.

Professor Ji’s research seeks to integrate advanced neuroimaging into traumatic brain injury (TBI) biomechanics research to understand injuries to functionally important neural pathways while developing techniques to achieve near real-time response

Professor Troy’s research program aims to understand how physical forces (such as those generated by the body during exercise and sports) interact with and change bone structure. She works with patients and are experts in orthopaedic and whole-bodylected...

Catherine Whittington conducts research that seeks to help better understand and treat diseases. She leverages advanced materials and cell-based systems, such as creating realistic 3D models of human tissues, to study how diseases develop and eventually
