I was the single author on a successful grant proposal for the German Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2008-2009) that paid a monthly stipend of 2100€ to me, 800€ to my academic host institution, and paid for my travel expenses. The research award was to develop a mechanistic thermodynamically based model of skin electroporation. The grant resulted in 2 journal articles, a conference presentation and a book chapter. Additionally, strong collaborative ties with Prof. Heinz Herwig of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) have been created and sustained as a result.

Co-Chair 9th AIAA/ASME Joint Thermophysics and Heat Transfer Conference; session: Heat and Mass Transfer in Bioengineering, June 5, 2006, San Francisco, CA, USA

Invited Guest Speaker (2011) To be held at the Symposium on Computational Heat Transfer in Biological Systems at University of Bath, England (July 1-6, 2012) Prof. Kambiz Vafai of the University of California Riverside asked me to deliver an invited talk at this symposium on a topic of my expertise within the general frame of: Computational Heat Transfer in Biological Systems. Prof Vafai is the top ranked academic researcher in the field of heat transfer and porous media. He is the editor of several journals and has the top ISI citing in the field.

Invited Seminar Talk (2011) Title: Transport Modeling of Skin Electroporation and the Thermal Behavior of the Stratum Corneum Date: 30 November Location: Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg Institut für Thermofluiddynamik Germany Following the strong reception of my 2011 publication in the International Journal of Thermal Sciences, the esteemed Technical University of Hamburg's Institute of applied Thermo-Fluid Dynamics invited me to present my research on the application of thermodynamics to transdermal drug delivery. This was paid appointment and was very well attended.

Invited Seminar Talk (2011) Title: Transport Modeling Associated with Skin Electroporation and the Thermal Behavior of the Stratum Corneum Date: 5 December Location: University of Ljubljana Faculty of Electrical Engineering Slovenia Following the publication of the 2011 International Journal of Thermal Sciences article depicting my theoretical description of electroporation, I was invited to speak to the leading group innovating electroporation practices which is at the Ljubljana campus in Slovenia. This was an honor and the entire institute attended this lecture.

Invited Seminar Talk (2011) Title: The Role of Mechanical Engineers in Biology Date: 16 December Location: North Carolina State University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Raleigh NC United States of America This was a special invitation to the Biomedical Engineering stream at North Carolina State University. The presentation was attended by nearly one hundred faculty and post graduate students.
