I am a biomechanist who focuses on understanding the cause of and improving treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee. This is an interdisciplinary area comprised of a variety of professions such as mechanical engineering, bioengineering, orthopaedic surgery, biology, radiology, and physical therapy. Because of the nature of the field, I seek to publish my work in high impact journals than are read by this diverse audience.

In my publication section, I have noted engineering student co-authors with a "*" symbol and medical student/resident co-authors with a "#" symbol.
