Research Description: My educational responsibilities earlier in my career were specific to data collection(s) for large NIH funded grants. I lived specifically on soft money while a faculty Research Scientist at Georgia Tech. After leaving Tech, I took a clinical teaching position at Tulane University where I integrated my years of data collection and research expertise into a teaching platform attempting to make biomedical research and technology a part of my classroom narrative. It was at Tulane that I began to earnestly try and weave quantitative and qualitative biomedical issues into daily teaching… often to students coming from a minimal STEM background. Today, as an engineering professor and Biomedical Coordinator for the School of Engineering at the University of Mississippi, I continue to demonstrate and convince students of the applicability of their engineering skill set in numerous health and biomedical related fields.
