Dr. William E. Lee, III Professor Director of BME program lee@eng.usf.edu (813) 974-2136 Education: Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Ohio 1984 B.S/M.S. Chemical Engineering, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida 1978 Research Interests: Biomechanics, Biomedical Product Development, various topics at the interface between Engineering/Technology and the Visual and Performing Arts. Investigation of the Performance and Design of Orthopedic Implant Devices This study involves an interdisciplinary team consisting of engineers and orthopedic surgeons. The study focuses on the evaluation and design of a new generation of orthopedic implant devices, focusing on shoulder joint replacements. This includes the mathematical modeling of the human shoulder and the implant device, cadaver testing, human subject evaluations, and the mechanical testing of various prototype devices. Other projects have focused on knee replacements, artificial finer joints, and artificial breast implants. Recent Research Projects: ‣ Characterization of Shoulder Joint Designs ‣ Investigation of Creativity and Related Issues Across Disciplines ‣ Investigation of Falls and Related Injuries in Health Care Facilities ‣ Investigation of Injury Causation Mechanisms for Rotator Cuff Tears and Lumbar Soft Issue Injuries ‣ Investigation of Lumbar Forces in Human Subjects During Activities of Daily Living ‣ Investigation of the Role of Student Immersion in Visual and Performing Arts on Undergraduate Education Recent Publications: Lee, W.E.

Dr. J.A. Llewellyn Professor Emeritus (813) 974- 5505 Education: Ph. D. Physical Chemistry, University College, Cardiff, Wales, U.K., 1958 B.Sc. Physical Chemistry, University College, Cardiff, Wales, U.K., 1955 Research Interests: Artificial Intelligence, Data Analysis Intelligent Process Analysis Many interesting systems, ranging from complex industrial chemical process operations, to living cells and organs, are now characterized by extensive measurements from a variety of sources. Techniques are needed to interpret this data. In the simpler cases, the interpretation may merely involve visualization of the data. In process analyses however, we are interested in bringing together experimental data on energy and material flows, in order to provide a self-consistent description, and differentiate between measurement problems/changes in process dynamics and process status. This interest now has a focus in the problems associated with the use of electromagnetic fields to facilitate the introduction of drugs and other biologically active materials into cells. The principal tools involve dielectric spectroscopy in conjunction with modeling and analysis software, used to investigate the changes in tissue provoked by time dependent electric fields. 15
