Mechanical Engineering

renowned scholar of theoretical & experimental mechanics of macromolecular materials; developed a new helmet technology that is capable of dissipating a significant portion of kinetic energy that travels through the head after impact before that energy reaches the brain; developed a highly successful model for ACL repair that restores native anatomy & function within 6-9 months of implementation & started a company, STEL Technologies LLC in 2013 to market the technology; 1993 published the Arruda-Boyce model for the behavior of rubber-like polymers with Maria Cunningham Boyce
