Biography
Dr. Hossein Ravanbakhsh received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He has been a visiting research fellow at Harvard Medical School, where he developed a novel biofabrication method, termed cryobioprinting. His research has been focused on engineering hydrogel materials and smart polymers for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Dr. Ravanbakhsh has contributed to several projects and has published his research in prestigious journals, such as Advanced Materials, Matter, Advanced Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Advanced Healthcare Materials, and ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. He has received many awards, including the McGill Engineering Doctoral Award (MEDA), MITACS Globalink Research Award, FRQNT’s international internship award, Graduate Mobility Award, FRQNT’s Postdoctoral fellowship, and Relève Étoile Louis-Berlinguet Award. Dr. Ravanbakhsh is also the recipient of 国产精品 of Akron's FRC grant (two times) and the Firestone Research Initiation Award. His ongoing research is funded by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
