Electric Eels Wield a Functional Venom Analogue
Toxins, 2021 In this paper, I draw an analogy between the use of electricity by electric eels (Electrophorus electricus) to paralyze prey muscles and the use of venoms that paralyze prey by disrupting the neuromuscular junction.

On the Optimization of a Centrifugal Maglev Blood Pump Through Design Variations
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Centrifugal blood pumps are usually designed with secondary flow paths to avoid flow dead zones and reduce the risk of thrombosis. Due to the secondary flow path, the intensity of secondary flows and turbulence in centrifugal blood pumps is generally ...
