Autor

James E. Moore, Jr., PhD, received his bachelor's in mechanical engineering with highest honor from the Georgia Institute of Technology, followed by an MS and a PhD from the same school and institute. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne, he has held faculty positions at Florida International University, Texas A&M University, and now Imperial College London. His research focuses on the biomechanics of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. Duncan J. Maitland, PhD, has worked as an engineer in aerospace, national defense, and biomedical applications since 1985. He received his BEE (electrical engineering) and MS (physics) from Cleveland State University. He received his PhD in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University. After his PhD, he worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 12 years and subsequently joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Texas A&M University in 2008. His research projects include endovascular interventional devices, micro actuators, optical therapeutic devices, and basic device-body interactions/physics, including computational and experimental techniques.
