Yi-Xian Qin, Ph.D.
Professor
From 1993- Present
Dr. Qin’s research is focused on the physical mechanisms involved in the control of tissue growth, healing, and homeostasis, especially bone adaptation and regeneration influenced by mechanical environment, as well as how these mechanisms can be utilized in the treatment and prevention of disease and injury and bone tissue engineering. His research is also focused on the development of non-invasive scanning acoustic diagnostic system for tissue quality, and therapeutic ultrasound. The goal of this project is to develop a new technology, which will lead to a better understanding of the progressive adaptation of bone loss in aging populations and microgravity environment. The technology will be used for assessing musculoskeletal complications such as osteoporosis and accelerate fracture healing.

Wei Lin, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
1997 – Present
Dr. Lin’s research focuses on the embedded systems and high performance computing technologies in biomedical applications. Research projects have covered a vast range from the wearable wireless infant monitor for the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome to ultrasound scanning imaging device for the assessment of bone properties.
Dr. Lin’s lab has adopted the latest technologies in embedded system design and established own platforms for the medical device prototyping to facilitate the transition of intellectual properties from bench side to bed side.

Chaudhry Raza Hassan
Ph.D Student, M.Sc
2015 – Present
Currently, I am working on the porous medium fluid flow finite element analysis of human knee and spine joints. I have successfully developed and validated knee and spine FE models. Using these models, in combination with ex vivo cadaver samples, I aim to look at degenerative changes in joints and the ways to stop the progression of degeneration either surgically or through non-invasive ultrasound procedure.
Over the years, I have been involved in several biomedical projects which I have completed successfully completed. Prior to joining Stony Brook University, I got M.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences & Engineering from Koç University, Turkey, and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from School of Science & Engineering, LUMS, Pakistan.

Wonsae Lee
Ph.D. Student, M.S.
2016 – Present
Wonsae is a Ph.D student in Orthopaedic Bioengineering Research Lab who has finished a master degree from University of Pennsylvania in biotechnology. He also has extensive knowledge in biochemistry as he obtained a degree of Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Syracuse University. The main research interests of Wonsae are biomechanics, mechanotransduction and regenerative medicine in musculoskeletal system. During his master’s degree, one of his research projects involved finite element analysis of canine molar tooth and fracture prediction. Another project he participated was the study about a discontinuation of intermittent Parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment in rat models and corresponding analysis using micro CT. Outside the lab, Wonsae enjoys swimming, playing basketball and reading.

Elias Georgas
Ph.D. Student, B.S.
2018 – Present
I am currently a second year doctoral student and joined the lab in the Spring 2018. My work involves developing a model of dynamic fluid flow in bone in response to an acceleration of loading frequency to see how this effects the shear stresses to excite osteocytes. Once the model is developed this technique will be validated at cellular, tissue, and animal levels. I am also currently on the Stony Brook Club Roller Hockey team, where I was a semi-finalist for Rookie of the Year in the league.
