Liheng Cai
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering (by courtesy) Associate Professor of Chemistry (by courtesy)Currently RecruitingMy lab’s research lies at the interface of soft (bio)materials and biology. We seek to understand and control the interactions between soft (bio)materials and living systems to solve challenges in sustainability and health. We do this using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches.

George Joseph Christ, Ph.D.
Commonwealth Professor of Engineering Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Orthopaedic SurgeryCurrently RecruitingGeorge Joseph Christ, Ph.D., develops basic and translational tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches to organ and tissue repair, reconstruction and replacement, with a focus on the musculoskeletal system, vasculature and lower urinary tract. Dr. Christ is an internationally recognized expert in muscle physiology.

In the Bilodeau group, we explore the intersection between molecular simulations, statistical physics, and artificial intelligence to develop tools to discover and design new molecules, surfaces, and proteins with optimized properties. Our core expertise lies in molecular dynamics simulations of soft matter systems and artificial intelligence for m
