Prof Vivek Shenoy is the Eduardo D. Glandt President’s Distinguished Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. He serves as the Director of the NSF Science and Technology Center for Engineering Mechanobiology (CEMB).

Professor Shenoy’s research team focuses on developing theoretical concepts and numerical methods to understand the basic principles that control the behavior of both biological and engineering systems. A significant challenge in modeling biological systems is that important processes involve coupling of both small-scale (nucleus, cell) phenomena and long-range (tissue, organ) interactions over length scales of micrometers to centimeters. The goal of our group’s work is to address these issues by developing multiphysics continuum or mesoscale theories and by adapting insights from soft matter physics, solid mechanics, chemistry, materials science and applied mathematics.
