Associate Professor, emeritus

Research

My primary long-term research interest is the interaction of the various factors that control blood flow in heart and skeletal muscle. Throughout, I have tried to apply my engineering background to biology.   Currently, my major focus in on mathematically model ling and the application of thermodynamic principles to living systems.

Education

BS, Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University, 1966

Phd, Bioengineering, University of Michigan, 1971

Postdoctoral Fellow, Univeristiy of Michigan, 1971-1974

Posdoctoral Fellow, University of Washington, 1974-1976

Teaching

I teach cardiovascular and renal physiology to Medical, Pharmacy, Graduate, and Undergraduate students.  Dr. Lois J. Heller and I co-author a  medical-level cardiovascular text. It has been popular for many years and is currently available in several languages.
