Brief
Bio
Research Interests:
My research spans various aspects of structural acoustics (the interaction of an elastic body with a surrounding fluid), mechanics, biomechanics and linear/nonlinear vibrations. Under the link Research Interests: you will find an annotated bibliography and description of various research topics. My current research is involved with:
Biomechanics
- Cochlear mechanics
- Experiments and modeling of the mechanics of soft tissue and tissue growth.
Electroacoustic Transducers
- Micromachined cochlear-like transducers View National Science Foundation story on this project. Further, there were a few other webstories written regarding the PNAS paper - please see the PhysicsWeb article and group picture and the MSNBC article as examples. Also, see Prof. Rob White’s Tufts page on the project.
- Macro-scale
piezoelectric transducers
Some completed research is summarized in Research Interests:, where you'll need to scroll down to find summaries of work in:
