Kevin Baker
Dr. Kevin Baker, Director of Orthopedic Research at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak visited Michigan Tech and gave interesting seminar entitled “Towards the In Situ Regeneration of Musculoskeletal Tissues” to both Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering departments. Kevin completed his MS degree under Prof. Drelich supervision in 2005 and then completed his PhD program at Wayne State University in 2011 when already working for Beaumont Hospital. It was a great opportunity to learn the progress Kevin made in contributing to building a strong orthopedics research program at Beaumont Hospital in the last 10 years.
This was also great opportunity to meet his family, wife Erin and two of his three boys: Everett and Miles.
We hope that this visit provided enough foundation for collaboration between SURFI team and Beaumont Hospital in the area of orthopedic implants.
