From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linxia Guis abiomechanical engineer,and a professor and head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Science at theFlorida Institute of Technology.Her research interests focus on biomechanics andbiomaterials,including3D bioprinting,andbio-ink;[1]Her major projects arehead trauma,[2]the optimization ofstenting procedure,[3]and thecrashworthinessof vehicle design.[4]

Education and career[edit]

Gu grew up inHenan.[5]She was an undergraduate atXi'an Jiaotong University,and earned a master's degree at theDalian University of Technology,both in China. She completed a Ph.D. at theUniversity of Floridain 2004.[6]

She became an assistant professor at theSouth Dakota School of Mines and Technologyin 2006. She moved to theUniversity of Nebraska–Lincolnin 2009, as an assistant professor in mechanical engineering. She became the university's first hire in its ADVANCE program.[5]After becoming an associate professor and full professor at the University of Nebraska, she moved to her present position at Florida Tech in 2019.[1]
