About Me
Mike grew up in Bountiful, Utah. He earned his BS in Bioengineering at the University of Utah. Thereafter, he matriculated as a graduate student in the Bioengineering Department, working under the supervision of Dr. Anderson. He successfully defended his PhD in April, 2013. As a PhD student, Mike gained expertise in subject-specific finite element modeling, CT arthrography, 3D morphometrics, muscle modeling, and statistical shape modeling. Mike served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Denver in the Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics. In this capacity, he developed finite element and muscle models of the knee and hip. In 2016, Mike accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Physical Therapy and Department of Orthopaedics at Washington University, St. Loius. Outside work, he enjoys the outdoors, soccer, and spending time with his wife and four children.
