My publications include over 100 peer reviewed manuscripts on bone and total joint replacement related topics. I received my doctorate, as a Rotary International Scholar, from the University of Western Australia. I served on the faculty at the University of Southern California and Arizona State prior to taking a position at the University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics. My research interests are biomaterials, total joint replacement, articular cartilage and electron microscopy, including pioneering efforts in backscattered electron imaging. I am also the Associate Editor of the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research.
