Biography

Axel Moore earned a Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering from the California Maritime Academy in 2012 and pursued a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Delaware. His doctoral research focused on the mechanics of soft hydrated materials, specifically articular cartilage, and the mechanical principles underlying fluid recovery. Following his doctorate, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Imperial College London, where he specialized in biomaterials design for tissue engineering aimed at bone and cartilage applications. Moore joined the University of Delaware as a research scientist, where he developed an in vivo model for spinal deformity (scoliosis) to understand the mechanisms and effects of spinal growth modulation in deformity correction. His work contributes significantly to the understanding of joint disorders and their treatment through innovative engineering solutions.
