There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience welcomes James Moore, a Georgia Tech alumnus and a professor of biomedical engineering at Texas A&M, on "Better Biomechanical Design for Stenting Arteries" as part of its bioengineering seminar series
Biography:
Dr. Moore was born in Toccoa, Georgia. He received his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in 1987, his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1988 and his Ph.D. in 1991, all from Georgia Institute of Technology. He had postdoctoral training at the Swiss Institute of Technology at Lausanne, 1991 – 1994. From 1994-2003 Dr. Moore served as a professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, Florida International University; he joined Texas A&M University in July 2003. Dr. Moore’s speciality is Cardiovascular Biomechanics, Stents, Implantable Devices, and Atherosclerosis. His research is concerned with the role of biomechanics (blood flow patterns and artery wall stress) in the formation and treatment of arterial diseases. Along with his funding from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Moore has received four patents and co-founded two startup companies. He has established new courses in biofluid mechanics and entrepreneurial issues for biomedical engineers at Texas A&M.
