My present research foci are bioelectricity and biomechanics. In therapeutic bioelectricity, my colleagues and I focus on improvements in defibrillation and tumor denaturation for benign and malignant tumors. On the traumatic side, we focus on electrocution and electrical injury. The biomechanics research focuses on ventilation and respiration effects of positioning for therapy (e.g. COVID) and trauma (e.g. compression asphyxia).
