Research Interests

Dr. Gilbert's research interest is the study of Biomaterials, that is, the study of materials used to repair, replace, or augment structures within the body. Specific research areas within this field include: development of novel bone cements; electrochemical phenomenon associated with metallic implant materials including corrosion, oxygen reactions, cell response to electrochemistry, protein-electrochemistry interactions and electric field generation; material-biological environment interaction including protein-surface interactions; micromechanics of surfaces and viable biological tissues; orthopedic implant design and degradation mechanisms; fracture and fatigue processes in biomaterials, medical device retrieval and failure analysis; performance testing of medical devices; novel instrumentation development for biomaterials characterization; in-situ AFM; nanoindentation of polymeric biomaterials.

Teaching Interests

Biomaterials & Medical Devices, Materials, Processing and Properties, Surfaces of Biomaterials
