Research
Primary research interests include:
- Fundamental mechanical characterization and modeling of the response of natural dental biomaterials to applied loading, namely the periodontal ligament and cranial suture tissues
- In vitro biomechanical simulation and design of orthodontic appliances and treatment methods (link to Orthodontic Biomechanics Testing and Development Group provided)
- Characterization of synthetic dental biomaterials such as resin based composites and restorative ceramics
