How their research is transforming health care
Fei is currently affiliated with SC-TRIMH. Fei’s current research projects focus upon the development of smart miniature biosensors to monitor tissue and device function in vivo. The goal is to systematically establish the customizable and quantifiable surgery protocols to prevent or minimize osteolysis progression, based on the highly sensitive, embedded strain sensors, patient-specific biomechanical modeling, and cadaver/animal validation. Fei has extensive collaborations with the members at SC-TRIMH on a number of research topics. He currently collaborates with Drs. John Tokish at GHS and Hai Xiao at Clemson, conducting research on joint replacement surgeries. Fei is working together with Dr. Jeryl Jones at Clemson on in vivo testing of implant materials with high-performance embedded sensors. He also jointly works with Dr. Monica Cayouette at MUSC on dental implant researches, and with Drs. Hai Yao and Guigen Zhang at Clemson on musculoskeletal simulation and modeling.
