| Dr. Michael Liebschner is Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Director of the Computational Biomechanics Laboratory at Rice University. One focus of Dr. Liebschner's work is the mechanical properties of bone. His group is developing computational techniques to describe the fundamental biomechanical properties of bone, and he is also developing minimally invasive techniques for treating and diagnosing osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. In collaboration with Rice colleague Dr. Lin Zhong, Dr. Liebschner is developing OsteoConduct, a system for “body-area communication” that takes advantage of bone's ability to conduct sound.
Dr. Lin Zhong is Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Efficient Computing Group at Rice University. Dr. Zhong received his B.S and M.S. from Tsinghua University in 1998 and 2000, respectively. He earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 2005, and spent one summer with NEC Labs, America and two summers with Microsoft Research while earning his doctorate. Dr. Zhong received the AT&T Asian-Pacific Leadership Award in 2001 and the Harold W. Dodds Princeton University Honorific Fellowship for 2004-2005. He joined Rice's faculty in 2005. His research interests include mobile and embedded system design, power analysis and optimization of integrated circuits and systems, and human-computer interaction. |
