David E. Mohrman, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, emeritus
ResearchMy 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
TeachingI 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.
