Linxia Gu
Linxia Gu is a Chinese and American biomechanical engineer, and a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Science at the Florida Institute of Technology. Her research interests involve 3D bioprinting, and the mechanical analysis of biomaterials including bio-ink;[1] she has also studied head trauma,[2] the design of stents,[3] and the crashworthiness of vehicle design.[4]
Education and career
Gu grew up in Henan, and became interested in physics as a teenager.[5] She was an undergraduate at Xi'an Jiaotong University, and earned a master's degree at the Dalian University of Technology, both in China. She completed a Ph.D. at the University of Florida in 2004.[6]
She became an assistant professor at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 2006. After her husband was hired by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2007, she moved there herself in 2009, as an assistant professor in mechanical engineering. She became the university's first hire in its ADVANCE program for improving their balance of women in STEM fields.[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]
Recognition
Gu was named as an ASME Fellow in 2016.[7]
