About Me
Chris grew up on Long Island, New York and earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Sustainable Engineering from SUNY Binghamton in upstate New York in 2013. During his undergraduate studies, he performed research in Fluid Mechanics under the supervision of Dr. Timothy Singler (PhD). Over the course of two summers, Chris interned as a Mechanical Engineer at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, NY in the Superconducting Magnet Division under the mentorship of Michael Anerella (PhD). There, he worked in collaboration with BNL and the European Nuclear Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in order to develop the structural design for a superconducting magnet anti-hydrogen trap for research purposes. Immediately after graduation from SUNY Binghamton, he chose to pursue his PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Utah with a track in Orthopaedic Biomechanics. He is currently working under Dr. Heath Henninger (PhD) in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory, where his focus is on the kinematics and biomechanics of the human shoulder, with a focus on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and biceps tenodesis. Outside of his schooling and laboratory work, Chris stays active by playing soccer, snowboarding, mountain biking, and playing guitar.
