Research Interests
Dr. Kohles is a Research Associate Professor of Mechanical & Materials Engineering at PSU, an Adjunct Associate Professor of Surgery at OHSU, and the Director of Kohles Bioengineering, an independent, consulting/research entity. Before arriving in Portland in 2001, he was a faculty member in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biology/Biotechnology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Physiology and Orthopedics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and Clinical Science at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Kohles’ research is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Collins Medical Trust. He has published over 135 journal and conference papers in the broad area of cell/tissue/implant biomechanical engineering and serves on the Editorial Boards for the Journal of Biomechanics and the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. He completed a doctoral degree in Bioengineering and BS/MS degrees in Engineering Mechanics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
