Professor <strong>John</strong> <strong>Bischof</strong> is internationally recognized for his<br />
research in bioheat and mass transfer and nanomedicine. He was<br />
educated at the University of California prior to performing a postdoctoral<br />
fellowship at Harvard and finally joining the faculty at the<br />

Engineering and Urology. He has made numerous contributions to<br />
bioengineering in general and biotransport in particular.Applications<br />
supported by his research include: (1) thermal therapies for<br />
treatment of cancer and cardiovascular disease, (2) biopreservation<br />
of biomaterials used in reproductive and regenerative medicine,<br />
and (3) nanoparticle heat and mass transport for disease diagnosis<br />
and treatment. He has authored or co-authored numerous<br />
publications and several patents and is recipient of both young<br />
investigator awards (NSF, NIH, Whitaker) and society awards<br />
(ASME, AIMBE, AvH and JSPS fellow). Dr. <strong>Bischof</strong> has served the<br />
ASME and broader biotransport community in various roles and is<br />
the current Chair of the Bioengineering Division. He has supervised<br />
and mentored many undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral<br />
