Research Areas
Biotechnology and Bioengineering
My research efforts in the past have focused on transport phenomena in biological systems. Most of the emphasis was on phenomena that arise as a result of the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the cellular and macromolecular constituents of flowing blood. Projects addressed the damaging interactions of blood constituents with synthetic materials and the effects of red blood cell diseases on blood rheology and solute transport. We also undertook a number of investigations into the mechanisms of cell motility and its effects on the survival of cell populations, with a particular focus on myxobacteria.
Although these issues remain of interest, in recent years, essentially all of my research has been in the area of science, technology, and public policy. This includes the impact of science and technology on international politics and economics, the policy issues raised by the confluence of ethics, economics, and technology in medical practice, the technical and political aspects of environmental protection, and the public support of science and technology.
