I
am a Professor of Physics in the Physics Department at Oakland
University. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in physics. My
major research project studies the degradation of articular cartilage,
which leads to osteoarthritis (the #1 cause of disability in human). We use multidisciplinary microscopic imaging approach to study different aspects of cartilage degradation. We are truly unique in high-resolution imaging research, since we have six complementary microscopic imaging systems in our lab, with spatial resolutions ranging from a fraction of µm to tens of µm. We know each instrument thoroughly and have developed quantitative protocols on each system. My cartilage research has been continuously supported by four 5-year R01 grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since January 1999. My current research funding from NIH goes till March 2022. On March 15, 2016, I delivered an edited book to the Royal Society of Chemistry (Cambridge, UK). The title of the book is “Biophysics and Biochemistry of Cartilage by NMR and MRI”. This is a unique book providing a contemporary snapshot of the roles NMR and MRI play in the current understanding of the biophysics and biochemistry of articular cartilage. As a treatise on cartilage research, it is the first book of its kind. This book has been published on Nov 16, 2016 (ISBN 978-1-78262-133-1). Here is the cover of the book.
