My current area of research involves mechanical testing of
the native porcine pulmonary heart valve. Currently, I am investigating
the microstructural response of the native pulmonary valve to pressure loading
and to access creep during glutaraldehyde fixation. With this information,
I will compare the pulmonary valve microstructure to the previously researched
aortic valve microstructure.
Additionally, I plan to begin research on the bicuspid aortic heart valve
microstructure employing the Small Angle Light Scattering device (SALS)
in my research.
