Meet the Principal Investigator
Tre Welch, Ph.D.
I have extensive experience in biomedical translational research, developing cardiovascular devices for implantation and other procedures. I am very familiar with collaborative research procedures involving clinicians, medical staff, and students. Also, I am experienced in contract research with medical device companies. Academic interests include teaching, research and development of manufacturing processes, laboratory experimental analysis, and numerical simulation, all directed towards the education of students in mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering.
