Biography

Paul Egan is an assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Texas Tech University leading engineering design research in medicine. At ETH Zurich Paul was a postdoctoral research fellow developing complex 3D printed structures for bone fusion applications. Paul was a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellow for researching computational and cognitive-based methods for biosystem design during his mechanical engineering doctorate studies at Carnegie Mellon University. At Oklahoma State University, Paul earned a National Goldwater Scholarship and completed mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, applied physics, and philosophy majors. Paul›s research interests aim to apply mechanical design principles to developing biomedical solutions for engineered technologies and medicine. He has developed expertise in computational approaches for data analysis, software user interfaces, biomechanical systems modeling, and design optimization. His applications of interest include muscle, bone, and food. His lab is currently working on the challenge of using computational methods and big data to personalize 3D printed devices optimized for specific patient needs.
