Dr. Ge He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Mississippi State University (Starkville, USA). Prior to joining LTU, he served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he conducted advanced research in the next generation pediatric pump-lung system for patients with heart/lung diseases or failures.

Dr. He’s research focuses on the application and integration of theoretical approaches, computational modeling, and in vitro/in vivo experiments to: (1) understand and characterize the biomechanical and mechanobiological behavior of biological tissues under physiological and pathological conditions, such as myocardial and brain tissue; and (2) design and optimize blood-contacting medical devices, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) systems and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). His work has been published in leading biomechanics journals, including the Journal of Biomechanics, the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, and the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.
