The faculty and staff at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting leading edge research, and for creating innovative industrial partnerships.

History The University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has a long and distinguished history. The earliest engineering courses at Pitt were established in response to the growth of Western Pennsylvania during the early industrial revolution, with the first degrees of “Engineer” awarded in 1846, thereby establishing Pitt as one of the nation’s sixth earliest engineering programs. The involvement of Pittsburgh industry in the years surrounding the Civil War transformed a regional industrial base into one with strong international significance, and the University responded to the need. In 1868, specialized degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering were initiated, with Mining Engineering following in 1869, and Electrical Engineering in 1890. In 1909, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering was established, followed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the world’s first Department of Petroleum Engineering in 1910. Also in that year, the school created one of the nation’s first undergraduate Cooperative Education Programs. Pitt Engineering’s tradition of innovative programming resulted in the establishment of one of the nation’s first Industrial Engineering Departments in 1921. Our latest department, Bioengineering, was established in 1998.

Among the many prominent individuals associated with the early history of the school were Samuel Pierpont Langley and Reginald A. Fessenden. Langley, who is credited with developing the engineering science of aerodynamics during his 24 years at Pitt, designed the first heavier-than-air craft capable of flight and greatly influenced the Wright Brothers. Fessenden, brought to Pittsburgh by George Westinghouse as the first electrical engineering department head, obtained more than 300 patents. Through his pioneering studies with voice transmission, he is now credited with being the “Father of Radio” and made the first broadcast of the human voice in 1906. In 2007, the school became the Swanson School of Engineering after a historic event: John A. Swanson (PhD ’66) made the largest individual philanthropic commitment in the history of the University of Pittsburgh. As a result of his remarkable generosity, the Board of Trustees presented a formal resolution on February 29, 2008 and announced the changing of the school’s name to the John A. Swanson School of Engineering. Currently, the Swanson School continues toward its $180 million campaign goal, part of the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive $2 billion campaign. Included in this campaign is the transformation of Benedum Hall, which includes a complete renovation of lab, classroom, and office space. In 2009, the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation addition was completed, a three-story building that connects Benedum Hall across the plaza to the auditorium, through the generosity of John C. “Jack” Mascaro (BSCE '66, MSCE '80), founder and president of Mascaro Construction Company.

Swanson School of Engineering Special Academic Programs Freshman Engineering Academic Program – Integrated Curriculum The School of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Academic Program consists of a well designed series of integrated courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. All engineering freshman pursue this common, integrated core, which includes an honors component for the most academically gifted students. The two specially designed engineering courses (ENGR 0011 and 0012) not only introduce students to basic engineering skills and problem formulation and solving methodologies, but also provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. A unique aspect of the program is the integration of instructors from the English Writing Center and the School of Engineering Bevier Library staff into the freshman coursework. As a result, students complete two major writing projects, a first semester paper describing in-depth an area of engineering that the student is interested in as a possible major and a second semester paper that is part of the professionally run Engineering for the New Millennium Conference, in which all of freshman engineering students participate. This later paper must be on a relevant engineering topic and include a discussion about sustainability. Student papers are arranged into sessions chaired by professional engineers. Session chairs meet with the students during the semester, critiquing the developing papers and offering suggestions for improvement. Freshman engineering students also participate in a two-term engineering seminar (ENGR 0081 and 0082), conducted in part by upper class peer advisors. These seminars provide general information on the transition to college, the improvement of study skills, and an overview of the various engineering fields. Moreover, students are given several opportunities to visit the various programs to discuss with faculty their anticipated program of study. Besides these opportunities, the Freshman Engineering Program office provides career and academic advising, workshops, and assistance with the Engineering Living Learning Community (Students Planning Academic Careers in Engineering (aka SPACE) – within Forbes Hall. Special programming is also conducted in Sutherland Hall – the LLC for first year honors students. Honors Options A selected number of outstanding students are offered the opportunity to take ENGR 0711 instead of ENGR 0011 during the Fall Term. This accelerated course covers the two-course sequence in one term, enabling students to choose from two special courses in the Spring Term: • ENGR 0712 provides an opportunity to learn mathematical modeling and research methodologies with one of the School’s most distinguished faculty • ENGR 0715 provides students with an opportunity to apply engineering methodologies in a service learning environment with local organizations. ENGR 0715 Engineering Applications for Society is a unique, rewarding learning experience for freshman engineering students who have completed the prerequisite ENGR 0711 Honors Engineering Analysis and Computing Fall semester course. The course provides a “Service Learning” experience through which students learn and develop valuable skills necessary to succeed as an engineer by solving a real problem of value to a local community organization.

The goal for this course is to create a win-win experience for both the students and the community organizations. In return for their participation in the students’ educational process, the community organizations benefit by having a problem of value addressed or “solved” by the students. Not only are the students rewarded by the satisfaction of solving a real problem of value to their community, but through this experience they learn many personal and professional skills that cannot be learned in traditional engineering curriculum. In particular, they learn that solving problems as an engineering professional truly involves more than the equations learned in classrooms where the answers can be found at the end of a book. Fessenden Honors in Engineering Program The Fessenden Honors in Engineering Program (FHEP) is a joint program with the University Honors College. FHEP is an opportunity for freshmen engineering students with ability and scope to participate in intellectually stimulating coursework and discussions that cross disciplinary boundaries. FHEP augments a challenging curriculum with the student led FHEP Seminar, where the Fessenden students engage in provocative discussions led by upper class preceptors. Its purpose is to enable emerging engineers to better understand their chosen profession, its responsibilities and mandates, and its relation to society at large. Topics discussed might include C.P. Snow’s “Two Cultures” debate, engineering ethics, the meaning of “quality” in engineering design, and the distinction between technical training and education. A total of 45 students participated in the program during the 2009-2010 academic year.

International Program The Swanson School of Engineering has been one of the first engineering programs in the country to recognize the increasingly international dimensions of engineering practice. To us, this not only means that a large proportion of our graduates must be prepared for overseas assignments, some of which may be of long duration, but it also means that a substantial portion of engineering work will continue to be sent offshore to technically competent engineering graduates who demand salaries that are considerably less than current US salaries. The implication is clear – US engineering education will have to change if our graduates are to remain competitive in the market place and bring value beyond their technical skills. Consequently, a major long-range objective has been to create a broad, coordinated program of international opportunities for our students that enable them to learn to work as engineers in cross-cultural environments. This suggests creating a variety of courses and exchanges, including some in which Pitt engineering students join international students in design projects working both virtually and on-site. Swanson School students have the option to choose to study abroad for a semester, a summer, or as part of a short-term program (of three weeks or less), as well as to participate in an international research experience, internship, or service learning project. Much of our success is due to the Swanson School partnering with the International Business Center and the College of Business Administration. We have also worked closely with the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), its area studies centers, and especially the University’s Study Abroad Office. These partnerships have resulted in several successful initiatives, several of which are outlined below: The Plus3 Program - The “Plus 3” program is for rising sophomores. It builds upon material covered in Managing Complex Environments for CBA students and ENGR 12 for engineering students. The School of Engineering has participated actively for the past several years, sending both faculty and students abroad. The three-credit course begins with four preparatory class sessions in March and April,

10


followed by a two-week study trip in early May, then ends with each student team presenting a final report in early September. During the two-week trip, business and engineering students work in teams as they make a number of company visits and prepare a report on a particular industry. Pitt students also have an opportunity to interact with local students, hear guest lectures and make several cultural visits while in the host country. Each trip is led by a faculty member accompanied by a support staff from Engineering, the College of Business Administration, or the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). The Plus3 program aims to cultivate interest in foreign language study and future study abroad. This is particularly important for engineering students, as the discipline has traditionally been less wellrepresented due to time constraints imposed by strict curriculum requirements. The Plus3 model has been so successful that the University of Pittsburgh has adopted it to create “Integrated Field Trips Abroad,” now a component of courses across the university curriculum. The Plus3 Program received the 2005 Institute for International Education’s Heiskell Award for innovation in study abroad. Engineering for a Better Environment Brazil – this short-term program is offered to students who have an interest in renewable energy. The program, which is offered as a three credit course at Pitt, introduces students to various forms of green energy in Brazil. Engineering in the Americas Before Columbus: Cusco, Peru – this short-term program is offered to students with an interest in structures. The program, offered as a three credit course at Pitt, brings students to Cusco, Peru to study sites from the Incan culture and to work directly with a local community to address a technical issue relating to structures. Engineering and Business Collaborations in India – this program is offered to students interested in learning more about management issues within the context of the Indian environment. It is offered as a three credit course. The program introduces students to real-world management, technical and other issues that are facing many well-known Indian and global corporations, and includes lectures led by industry leaders who are facing many challenges in the current global economic climate. Undergraduate Student Exchange with the Universidad De Montevideo – this is the first of a series of upper level IFTA courses that are being created for Engineering and Business students. A special four credit, three-week course on “Global Supply Networks and Manufacturing Cultures in Latin America” was developed by colleagues at the Universidad De Montevideo. It provides participants with an understanding of international supply chain operations with a special focus on Latin American and Uruguay. The two-week study visit to Uruguay enables students to place their understanding of those concepts within an international, cross-cultural context. INNOVATE (International Technology, Innovation and Leadership Conference) – this program was created by Rice University and IAESTE in 2004. This past year we joined as a sponsor and have created a special course, ENGR 1600, in conjunction with the INNOVATE Symposium. This tenday study trip for a large group of US students and several international students in early March visited several countries in Asia. The Symposium addressed how technology has driven globalization and business decision-making. The ENGR 1600 course was taught as a collaborative effort between Pitt and Rice University using video conferencing. It was divided into three sections: the pre- and post-trip phases and the actual trip. Prior to the trip, the course focused on topics related to Asian countries and globalization, with guest speakers drawn from Asian Studies and Rice’s Baker Institute. These lectures provided the basis for comparative discussion and analysis. Topics included: leadership, technology trends, history and politics, economics, contemporary culture and demographics, and specific analysis of different business sectors. After returning, students documented their experience, through an end-ofsemester formal paper and presentation at the annual Alumni Dinner.

Internship and Exchange opportunities in Germany The University signed an exchange agreement the UAS-7 Consortium – seven Germany universities (Berlin School of Economics, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Münster University of Applied Sciences, Osenabrück University of Applied Sciences) whose core academic strength is their engineering/technical degree

programs. The agreement allows for the exchange of students from the UAS-7 universities and the University of Pittsburgh for study and internship experience. As part of this exchange agreement, SSOE undergraduate students can be selected to participate in the UAS-7 Consortium’s “Study and Internship Program (SIP) in Germany” Program. Selected students spend the fall semester taking courses at one of the Universities of Applied Sciences, and spend the spring semester doing a full-time internship at a German organization that is arranged by their host university. Students in the SIP program receive substantial funding from Germany to participate in this program. FIPSE-CAPES Program (Brazil) - In AY 2007-2008, an agreement was signed for the federally-funded FIPSE-CAPES program: “US-Brazil Partnership in Sustainability and Innovative Design (S&ID) between the SSOE and two Brazilian institutions, the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES). This agreement allows for the exchange of SSOE students and UNICAMP and UFES students for study, as well as a provision for key faculty to develop curricular projects that focus on issues of sustainability, product realization, and innovative design. In AY 2010-2011, a new FIPSE CAPES agreement was signed for the project “Bilateral Development on Aeronautic Skills Between U.S. and Brazil” between the SSOE and two new Brazilian institutions, the Federal University of Itajuba (UNIFEI) and the Federal University of Parana (UFPR). This agreement will allow the exchange of students and faculty, as well the development of innovative shared curricula. Student Organizations - We have an active chapter of and Engineers without Borders (EWB). Through this organization, our students are able to participate in a global service learning opportunity with a focus on a developing country Engineers Without Borders - is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in developing communities via grassroots engineering initiatives. With each community it affects, EWB pledges to address problems affecting health, sanitation, economy, technology, and education with an appropriate and sustainable solution. The University of Pittsburgh student chapter is currently working on a pisiculture development project to assess, design and implement a sustainable fish farm in the community of Makili, Mali. Student members and professional mentors from the Pitt chapter have traveled to Makili in order to complete assessment phases of this project. The students have also been analyzing the data acquired, finalizing the pond construction plans and identifying public health goals for the community. They have obtained a $10,000 industry grant for this project. Construction Management Program The Construction Management Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering meets the growing need in industry for qualified personnel with an excellent construction management education rooted both in fundamentals and in professional practice. The program has launched a new focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly construction practices. It provides both graduate and undergraduate students with construction management curricula developed in consultation with an industry-wide committee comprised of area contractors, owners, architects, and trade

12


associations and unions. The program is also offered through our state-of-the-art distance learning facility to accommodate the needs of part-time students. Cooperative Education Program (Co-Op) During the 2010-2011 year, there were 742 active co-op students, a significant increase from last year’s 662 participants. This number represents all students who are current co-ops and have not yet graduated. About 19% of these students worked outside of the Pittsburgh region. Included in this number, a total of 311 undergraduate and 5 graduate applicants accepted co-op positions during the year; this figure is also a marked increase from 234 in 2009-2010. Thirty-eight of the 316 students were replaced with a new company; some of these students requested a different employer, and others were required to find a new company, mostly due to economics. The average starting salary for a first term coop in 2010-2011 was $2701, up from $2673 for the previous year. Our post-graduate survey for engineering co-ops shows that 44% of the respondents reported full-time offers from their co-op employers, with a 76% acceptance rate. Eighty-nine percent of the graduates reported that they are either working or attending graduate school. One hundred sixty-six of the one hundred eighty-one (92%) graduates responded to the survey. The average full-time starting salary of a University of Pittsburgh engineer who co-oped was $57,676, up from the previous year’s average salary of $57,400. The Co-op Employer of the Year for 2010 was Vocollect, Inc. a longtime supporter and success story in our co-op program’s history. Our Co-op Student of the Year for 2010 was Jared O’Connell of the chemical engineering department. Jared was enthusiastically nominated by both his employer, The Hershey Company, and the chemical engineering department. O’Connell was named a finalist in the national Co-op. The Student of the Year competition is sponsored by the Cooperative & Experiential Engineering Division of the American Society of Engineering Education. In July of 2011 we were granted approval to begin a cooperative education initiative for graduate level candidates. We are hopeful that this complement to our undergraduate program will diversify our employer and student base. 1

Green Construction and Sustainable Development Program The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) is a center of excellence in sustainable engineering focusing on the design of sustainable neighborhoods. MCSI encourages and nurtures new collaborative projects based on strong and innovative research, translating the fundamental science of sustainability into real products processes. Our goal is to create innovations that positively impact the environment and improve quality of life. Our research includes projects on greening the built environment, increasing sustainable use of water, and designing distributed power systems. MCSI currently offers two summer undergraduate research programs- International Research Experience for Students (IRES) and Undergraduate Research Program (URP). IRES, funded by the National Science Foundation, is a program that creates an innovative research experience in sustainable design for a select group of undergraduate engineering students. The students participate in a 12-week summer internship as a part of a research team. The teams are co-led by faculty from the University of Pittsburgh and faculty from Brazil. They spend four preparatory weeks in

13


Pittsburgh before traveling to Brazil to spend the four weeks in residence at UNICAMP in Brazil. They return to spend the final four weeks in Pittsburgh. Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an internally supported program aimed at providing talented students with creative opportunities that go beyond the engineering classroom curriculum and enables students to develop their own ideas and work independently on hands-on research projects in sustainable engineering with advice and guidance from a faculty mentor. Pitt Engineering Career Access Program (PECAP) The Pitt Engineering Career Access Program (PECAP) is designed to develop and implement programs that promote and support the academic excellence of high achieving pre-college and undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. PECAP includes a pre-college component, INVESTING NOW, and a college component, the Pitt EXCEL Program. These two initiatives provide a continuous pipeline for students from groups traditionally underrepresented to prepare for, enter and graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as STEM majors. PECAP – INVESTING NOW Created in 1988, INVESTING NOW is a college preparatory program designed to stimulate, support and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of Pittsburgh. The primary goals are to: 1) create a pipeline for well-prepared students to enter college and pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors; 2) encourage and support students’ enrollment and achievement in advanced mathematics and science courses; 3) ensure that the participants make informed college choices; 4) support and encourage parents in their roles as advocates for their children; and 5) coordinate partnerships between the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering and local and regional schools. INVESTING NOW recruitment, which focuses on eighth grade students, takes place in the spring of each academic year. However, membership involves a student commitment to attend year-round programming from ninth through twelfth grade. Some of the student activities include academic advising, tutoring, hands-on science and engineering workshops, college planning sessions, summer enrichment classes and SAT preparation. Approximately 150 students participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2010-2011 academic year. In 2011, 39 INVESTING NOW students graduated from high school. Four of those students currently attend the University of Pittsburgh main campus. 97% of the graduating class enrolled in college for 2011-2012. In addition, 62.0% of the students are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields at various colleges and universities. PECAP-Pitt EXCEL Program Pitt EXCEL is a comprehensive program committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutor and study sessions, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development workshops, as well as a two-week intensive chemistry, math, physics and study skills review session for

14


pre-freshmen entitled the Summer Engineering Academy. Brief descriptions of the major programs sponsored by Pitt EXCEL are highlighted below: Summer Research Internship (SRI) Each year, selected Pitt EXCEL students participate in a nine-week Summer Research Internship (SRI) Program. Students are assigned to faculty mentors who lead research teams. Each student meets regularly with a faculty mentor to review daily journals, discuss progress, and collaboratively discover innovative solutions to engineering problems. The primary objective is for students to develop a positive relationship with a role model in their discipline of engineering. Additional objectives for facilitating a mentoring partnership include: personal and career guidance; access to the professional community; and guidance that will ease the transition from school to work or undergraduate to graduate school. There were nine students and eight faculty mentors involved in the 2011 Summer Research Internship Program. Summer Engineering Academy The Summer Engineering Academy is a two-week residential program for pre-freshmen engineering students that enables them to make a smooth transition from high school to college. During the program, students learn essential study skills for college and receive an intensive review of chemistry, There were 26 math and physics concepts, with an introduction to engineering problem solving. incoming School of Engineering freshmen, eight females and eighteen males, enrolled in the 2011 Summer Engineering Academy class. Undergraduate Enrollment The School continues to have measurable success in the education of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of engineering. Figures from the beginning of academic year 2011-2012 indicate that there are approximately 180 ethnically underrepresented (African American, Hispanic and Native American) students enrolled, representing 7.7% (180/2323) of the undergraduate student body in the School and 1.9% (34/2323) multiracial undergraduate students. Female students represent 23.0% (535/2323) of the undergraduate student body. Undergraduate Graduation 22 ethnically underrepresented students - 17 African Americans and five Hispanics - graduated from the Swanson School of Engineering during the 2010-2011 school year, representing 5.1% (22/434) of the graduates for the year. In addition, 87 women graduated during the year, representing 20.0% (87/434) of all graduates. Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) also administers the Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives to recruit traditionally underrepresented students into graduate engineering education through partnerships with student organizations, graduate research experience, and Diversity graduate fellowships and scholarships. Graduate Diversity Fellowships: The EOD has implemented an aggressive strategy to recruit underrepresented graduate students, expand college visits and widen fellowship opportunities. With the support of the Office of the Dean, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Chancellor, the University of Pittsburgh is a member in the

15

Center for National Preparedness The Center for National Preparedness (CNP) was established in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks to develop holistic and logical approaches to education, research, and training on issues related to national preparedness. CNP has been formulated around four primary guiding principles for Homeland Security: prevention, protection, response, and recovery. Prevention requires effective diplomatic policies, border security, and surveillance systems, which must be a first priority prior to catastrophic events. Protection provides the assurance of military vigilance, the health of the American population, the security of critical infrastructure, and the continued operation of cyber networks. Response focuses on employing properly trained and equipped professionals at the local, state, and federal levels. Recovery emphasizes the importance of rapid restoration of key components within critical infrastructure. CNP is uniquely positioned to use this multi-layered approach to provide expertise to organizations that must deal with homeland preparedness. CNP is a broad, multidisciplinary, collaborative enterprise that engages the University’s scientists, engineers, policy experts, and clinical faculty. Members of CNP possess expertise in biomedical research, public health, medicine, national security policy, engineering, and information technology. The unifying theme of our efforts is the application of systems (and systems of systems) approaches from the engineering sciences to a new academic discipline of Homeland Security and National Preparedness Studies. Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Over the past several years, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has strategically positioned itself to focus its research and educational efforts on the transportation sector. The Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (CSTI) was formed to expand on the successful research and education collaboration between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the CEE Department. PennDOT and the University of Pittsburgh formalized their relationship through an Intergovernmental Agreement, which provides a mechanism to support CSTI activities with up to $25 million dollars over five years. CSTI’s vision is to advance the state of transportation infrastructure through collaborative, multi-disciplinary research and education efforts and dissemination of new technologies and knowledge. CSTI is interested in fostering collaborative transportation research throughout the Swanson School of Engineering, the University, industry, and other academic institutions to expand its research program.

Composite Materials Laboratory The Composite Materials Laboratory is used mainly for research in penetration and fracture mechanics of composite materials, the characterization of associated dynamic failure modes, and understanding the physics of dynamic failures of new generation of composite materials. The lab is equipped with a high-performance penetrating and fracturing Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) integrated to a high speed optical/CCD imaging system for high strain rate testing. The system is capable of capturing dynamic fracture, crack propagation, and fragmentation processes during composite materials failure at over 2 million frames per second. The lab operates a laser Raman Spectroscopy for characterization of residual strengths and micro micromechanical properties of composite materials with 1 mm resolution. Heat, moisture absorption, dynamic impact, or a combination of these factors results in transformation of micromechanical properties of composite materials in the region of damage and beyond. Laser Raman spectroscopy is used to directly measure fiber stress at the microscopic level because Raman frequencies or unique atomic vibrational energy levels of the constituent fibers are stress-strain dependent. In many crystalline or paracrystalline materials, the Raman peak position shifts linearly to lower wave numbers under tensile strains and to higher wave number under compressive strains. Composite materials of interest include woven composites, advanced composite materials, nano-composites, smart composite, and high-temperature materials such as ceramics.

Faculty Profiles BIOENGINEERING Steve Abramowitch Assistant Professor, Department of Bioengineering (Primary), Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences (Secondary). PhD (Bioengineering), University of Pittsburgh (2004). Dr. Abramowitch serves as the Co-Director of the Tissue Mechanics laboratory in the Musculoskeletal Research Center. His research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of pelvic floor failure in women with pelvic organ prolapse and enhance maternal tissue healing following obstetric injury utilizing functional tissue engineering approaches. Howard Aizenstein Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Bioengineering; Director of the Geriatric Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory. PhD (Computer Science), 1993, and MD, 1995, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Aizenstein’s research interests focus on structural and functional brain MRI in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment and mood disorders. His research projects integrate the fields of neuroscience, computer science, software engineering and clinical aspects of neuroimaging and brain mapping. Recent projects in the lab include developing automated neuroimage registration and segmentation routines, surface modeling of brain structures, and time-series of functional MRI data. In more clinically-oriented projects, imaging approaches are being used to investigate therapeutic response to antidepressive drugs in late-life depression. Alejandro Almarza Assistant Professor, Department of Oral Biology and Bioengineering; Director of the TMJ laboratories. PhD (Bioengineering), Rice University, 2005. Research interests include: Understanding the normal biomechanical properties and joint mechanics/motion of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) for determining diseased states and to start elucidating the progress of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMDs).

This integrative approach provides reinforcing insights and novel avenues for exploration into the basic signaling pathways as well as functioning of whole organism. As a model system, we explore motility signaling from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in adherent cells. EGFR plays a central role in the functioning in a wide variety of both stromal and epithelial tissues, and is the prototype for other receptors with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity.
