A long-standing interest of our group is employing engineering methods and principles to the understanding of physiological systems. Currently we work on deposition of aerosol particles in human airways and dynamic response of muscles to functional stimulation.  Previous enveadors have included work on the urine concentrating mechanism in the renal medulla.
