Sukkar Professor of Engineering Design and Innovation
College of Engineering Dean ad interimElise Morgan is the Maysarah K. Sukkar Professor of Engineering Design and Innovation and the inaugural director of the Center for Multiscale and Translational Mechanobiology at Boston University.
She has faculty appointments in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (primary), the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Dr.
Professor Elise Morgan (ME, BME, MSE), a leading researcher on how mechanical forces affect biological tissue, has been named the first Maysarah K. Sukkar.
Morgan received her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of California Berkeley and was a postdoctoral fellow in the departments of mechanical engineering and surgery at Stanford University.
Dr. Morgan’s research group focuses on the mechanical behavior and mechanobiology of skeletal tissues at multiple length scales.
Her group uses experimental and computational methods to explore how the deformation and failure behavior
