I was born in Chicago, IL and stayed there through college at Northwestern University. My major was BME with a concentration in biomaterials. I continued my education at University of Dayton; strengthening my materials background. My research was on crystal growth in gout, which has kept me interested in the biological response to fibers and particles. I then went to Clemson University to get my Ph.D; studying failure modes of percutaneous devices; which is related to the diameter of the dacron fibers I used for the skin-penetrating device. I then moved to Texas for my first academic job in Bioengineering at Texas A&M. I was at Texas A&M for 4.5 years. I then went to UAB, my current employer and have been here for 31 years. During that time I have been the research advisor for 10 Ph.Ds. and 34 M.S. students who have graduated.
