Author Biographies
Michael S. Detamore, University of Kansas
Michael Detamore is currently an assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Kansas. He received his 8. S. in chemical engineering from the University of Colorado in 2000 and his Ph.D. in bioengineering from Rice University in 2004. While in graduate school, he taught algebra, geometry, and fourth-grade math on weekends for a year, and was a co-instructor for a graduate-level course in continuum biomechanics. At KU, he has taught material and energy balances and tissue engineering. His research interests include tissue engineering, biomechanics, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
