Peter Butler

Peter Butler is a professor of bioengineering researching the role of cellular mechanobiology in vascular disease progression. He has become interested in medical device design for developing countries because of the potential that these projects have in educating undergraduate students in highly integrative engineering design under significant constraints, something all professional engineers need to know. He has taught a junior-level design course for about eight years with this in mind and has traveled to Kenya with Khanjan Mehta and a number of students to help implement these designs and to learn about the healthcare needs of the Kenyan people.
