Paul Calvert's Biography

Paul Calvert, Professor of Bioengineering, UMass Dartmouth

Paul Calvert is in the Bioengineering Department at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
His current research is on 3D printing of hydrogels and composites to make small bioreactors with embedded cells.
This effort includes both inkjet and extrusion printing and is applied to human cells, yeast and algae.
Other research covers printed sensors and actuators.
He studied at Cambridge and MIT and then taught Materials at Sussex University and University of Arizona before moving to UMass.
He is a visiting professor at University of Wollongong and at New Mexico Tech.
In addition to those above, he has published on a range of topics including polymer crystallization, crystal-induced joint diseases, polymer degradation, composite materials, biomimetic materials, conducting polymers, ceramics processing, printed electronics. Current courses are Biology for Engineers, Biomechanics, Biomaterials, and Biomimetics.
