Biography

Daniel Cohen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Director of Graduate Studies at the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute. His research focuses on bioengineering applications related to biomaterials and tissue engineering, leveraging collective behaviors to aid in injury healing and the formation of complex tissue structures. He employs innovative engineering approaches for controlling these behaviors, using technologies like microfluidic bioelectric devices that guide cell migration analogous to herding sheep. His work seeks to augment tissue growth for accelerated wound healing and also includes the design of cell-mimetic materials that can integrate with living tissues to exert internal controls. Cohen’s interdisciplinary research welcomes contributions from diverse academic backgrounds and spans multiple fields, including biomolecular engineering and complex materials processing.
