Test method design using clinical MRI to measure in vivo 2D strain field of vertebral disc in human. This work was published in Nature Scientific Reports.

Henry Ford Hospital (Detroit)

Involved in exploring new methods to understand bone quality by use of new types of x-ray imaging devices and software algorithms. This research will help doctors diagnose osteoporosis patients with fracture risks, allowing them to pin point where the fracture might take place and therefore prescribe life style change and medications to prevent such debilitating event to occur.

Involved impact force research in musculoskeletal joint system (cartilage, bone and the interface) in order to understand precursor cause of osteoarthritis. This research was considered to be importance as many of the sports deforms cartilage similar to a creep, and yet there has not been a systematic study how this pre-creep deformation might affect the impact and energy absorption function of cartilage-bone system.
