M&IE Adds Two to Faculty

Professor Ning Wang was an Associate Professor of Physiology and Cell Biology in the Harvard School of Public Health, where his research explored the mechanisms that control how living cells and tissues respond to mechanical forces, as well as the role of pre-stress in the cytoskeleton on mechanotransduction and other cell functions.

Associate Professor Jon Freund's research addresses fluid mechanics, molecular dynamics simulation of nanometer-scale flows, aerodynamic sound and compressible turbulence. He has recently been investigating the flow dynamics of red blood cells in microcirculation. He will have a joint appointment in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
