Interests
I am interested in the age related mechanisms that lead to altered tissue structure and mechanics through nanomechanical changes in the collagen matrix. We utilise bovine cartilage to model targeted structural changes which are then probed using small angle X-ray diffraction combined with in-situ mechanics.Publications
