Luis Cardoso

Luis Cardoso is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the City College of New York (CCNY). He is a former postdoctoral fellow of the Bone Loss team at the NASA – National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) and currently directorof the multiscale and functional imaging laboratory at CCNY. A major interest of Dr. Cardoso's research focuses on biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system using experimental, analytical and numerical approaches to investigate the structure function relationship of calcified tissues. Dr. Cardoso's laboratory has particular interest on ultrasound wave propagation in porous media, imaging of bone microarchitecture, and the characterization of bone mechanical competence using the Fabric Tensor. Dr. Cardoso is the author of 80 peer reviewed papers in international journals, more than 130 peer reviewed abstracts, and 4 book chapters. He has been an invited lecturer at several international venues, including the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Biomedical Engineering Symposium. He has received several distinctions, including the New Investigator Recognition Award by the Orthopaedic Research Society in USA, and was elected as Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
