Ge He

  • Visiting Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering

Dr. He’s research focuses on applying and integrating theoretical approaches, computational models and in vitro/in vivo experiments to:

  1. Understand and characterize tissue behaviors under physiological and pathological conditions, e.g., myocardial and brain tissue
  2. Design and optimize blood-contacting medical devices, e.g., extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and left ventricular assist device (LVAD)

His works have been published in top biomechanics journals, e.g., Journal of Biomechanics, Journal of the Mechanical Behaviors of Biomedical Materials, and Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.
