Bumsoo Han, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Education: Ph.D. University of Minnesota,
2001; M.S. Seoul National University, 1996; B.S. Seoul National
University, 1993
Areas of Expertise: Multiscale transport phenomena
in biological and biomedical systems, heat and mass transfer within
biological systems, minimally invasive thermal therapies, preservation
of biological systems, characterization of thermal and mechanical
properties of biomaterials
Background: Dr. Han’s research interests
are in biomedical and thermal sciences. He has been performing experimental
and computational research on cellular and tissue level heat and
mass transfer in various biomedical applications. These include
1) minimally invasive thermal therapies of prostate and breast cancers,
and cardiovascular diseases; 2) preservation of biological systems
via cryopreservation (i.e. freezing) or desiccation (i.e. drying);
and 3) characterization of thermal and mechanical properties of
biomaterials. He is also interested in understanding the interaction
of nanometer size particles within biological environment for developing
and improving new therapeutic modalities.
Prior to joining the University of Texas at Arlington, he has been
working as a Research Associate of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Minnesota. He has received the
Postdoctoral Award of US Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research
Program. He is a member of ASME, and the Society for Cryobiology.
