Biomedical Engineering Faculty


Harry Millwater, Ph.D.
Associate Professor and Assistant Department Chair
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Educational Background:
B.S., Rice University
Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin

Areas of Research Interest:

  • Probabilistic Methods
  • Structural Mechanics and Integrity
  • Computational Mechanics
  • Biomechanical Implant Design
  • My technical interests and experience are concentrated in the field of structural mechanics and structural integrity with emphasis on computational, probabilistic, and bioengineering methods and applications. Of particular focus is the development and application of probabilistic methods to structural befavior and integrity. As PI, my current projects are funded by FAA, USAF/AFRL, DOD, AFOSR, SALSI among others. In addition to these various research endeavors, i am the Chairman of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Studies program
