ICES Research Faculty

Phil Campbell Research Professor - ICES Bioavailability of growth factors, growth factor association and dissociation with various interstitial components, proteolytic processing, biomimetic tissue engineered materials, musculoskeletal tissue repair and regeneration. pcampbel@cs.cmu.edu | 412-268-4126 | 1213 HBH

Ender Finol Associate Research Professor - ICES Computational and numerical modeling techniques applied to cardiovascular diseases. Such applications include biomechanics of aneurysms (cerebral and aortic), endovascular grafts, design and testing of cerebral protection devices, segmentation algorithms for medical images, and continuum mechanics modeling of growth and remodeling of aneurysms. Dr. Finol operates the Vascular Biomechanics and Biofluids Laboratory. finole@cmu.edu | 412-268-1841 | 1205 HBH

Jeff Hansen Systems Faculty - ICES Hansen's research focuses around developing distributed systems with quantitative resource-efficient QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees, multimedia applications such as video, audio and web browsing, QoS negotiation, traffic forecasting and pro-active resource management, scientific visualization, data mining, computer systems, and logic synthesis. jh2m@andrew.cmu.edu | 412-268-1627 | 2218 HBH

Alan Rosenbloom Research Scientist - ICES Microchip-based sensor systems, detection of PNA-DNA binding by dialectic resonance spectroscopy, microdialysis of proteins, and nanoporous silicon carbide. He currently researches the development of patient-physician interface using non-invasive, miniaturized, multifunctional sensors that report molecular events within the patient to the physician in order to improve the data gathering process. alan2@andrew.cmu.edu | 412-268-6430 | 1207 HBH

Nisha Shukla Special Faculty - ICES Nisha Shukla is currently a special faculty in the Institute for Complex engineered systems at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Shukla's primary research focus is in the area of nanotechnology and the synthesis of selectively shaped nanoparticles for utilization in solar cells, high density magnetic media and as catalysts. In addition, her research interests include understanding and studying tribology and surface science of high density recording media. Dr. Shukla's background is in surface science and surface analysis of semiconductors and metal surfaces. She obtained a Ph.D. at the University of Wales, College of Cardiff in the United Kingdom and did a post-doc in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to joining ICES, she worked for Seagate Research for 5 years. Dr. Shukla's research has recently being spotlighted in nanowerk.com and Frost and Sullivan.

Asim Smailagic Director - LINCS; Research Professor - ICES Wearable computers; mobile computing; pervasive computing; reliable computing; audio and visual interfaces to computers. Director of LINCS (Laboratory for Interactive Real-Time Computer Systems). asim@cs.cmu.edu | 412-268-7863 | 1217 HBH

Eswaran Subrahmanian Research Professor - ICES Under Dr. Subrahmanian's direction, the n-dim group is interested in designing information systems that support the social processes that are integral to design. The group studies engineering work processes in order to create methods for managing knowledge in engineering design. They consider an understanding of work processes to be an integral part of system's development. In order to analyze work processes the n-dim group has researched and developed methods for studying the flow and use of information in design organizations. They then use an evolutionary prototyping method build and test design applications that support engineering knowledge management. sub@edrc.cmu.edu | 412-268-5221 | 1209 HBH
