PROFESSOR
University of Texas at Arlington
Arlington, Texas, United States
Dr. Jun Liao is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Liao received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation/Cleveland State University. After his postdoctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Liao has focused his research on tissue biomechanics and bioengineering, which cover cardiac bioengineering, heart valve biomechanics, tissue regeneration, and computational simulations. His research is to better understand the role of biomechanics in maintaining optimal cardiovascular tissue performance in physiological conditions as well as biomechanical abnormalities in diseased/injured states. His ultimate goal is to be able to apply the gained bioengineering knowledge to better design tissue replacements and medical interventions. Dr. Liao is a leading researcher in tissue biomechanics and bioengineering field. His productivity and contributions are evidenced by 109 peer-reviewed journal publications, 180 conference presentations/posters, 9 book chapters, and two books entitled: “Advances in Heart Valve Biomechanics” and “Advances in Biological Tissue Mechanics.” His research publications generated a cumulative citation of 4,924 an h-index of 40, and an i10-h index of 81. Due to his research contributions, Dr. Liao was elected as a Fellow of the American Heart Association in 2014 and a Fellow of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers in 2020.
