Optical elastography is a promising imaging modality that is capable of capturing disease-induced property changes. Its main advantage is that an elastogram presents a continuous description of the spatial variation of skin properties on the pixel level that would otherwise be impossible with other sensors. Its value will be further enhanced when used with a point-wise measuring device such as a cutometer that yields absolute elasticity values.
In 2004, Dr. Marie received the university-wide Distinguished Professorship Award for Teaching and the Outstanding Teaching Award from the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education. Dr. Marie's current research is focused on CFD modeling of solid-fluid interaction of thin film lubrication in rotordynamic seals coupled with the overall dynamic modeling of adaptive seal-rotor assemblies in turbine engines. Prior to entering academia, Dr. Marie worked as a materials engineer, primarily investigating high temperature copper alloys, and as an automation process engineer both at Packard Electric in Warren, OH. In addition, she currently offers consulting services to local industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
