Expertise and Research Interests

My major clinical interests are in the area of hip and bone joint reconstruction. My laboratory interests are in the area of biomechanics. Some current ongoing projects include 1) the effects of various adjuvant therapies on the healing and remodeling ofbone and bone allografts, 2) the orthopaedic application of new osteo inductive bone substitutes and 3) the formation of several different bone designs.

Other Expertise

Academic Experience:I wish to be contacted by interested students (medical, graduate or undergraduates) as a potential research mentor/thesis advisor.
