AREAS OF SPECIAL INTERESTS
Dan joined the lab in fall 2010 as an undergraduate assistant. Under the guidance of Jon Kluge, he is working on the fabrication and characterization of nanofibrous 3D polymeric structures that can be used as implantable devices to help repair damaged soft tissues of the human body. More specifically, he is analyzing candidate multifiber composite systems that can provide both biological and mechanical function for fibrocartilaginous tissues. Outside the lab, Dan enjoys exploring the east coast city life, watching the television show "Chuck," and playing tennis.
