Authors

Christopher Cheng Adjunct Professor, Stanford University, California, USA. Dr. Christopher Cheng has over 20 years of experience in academic research and the medical device industry. His academic research has focused on hemodynamics and vascular structure mechanics, with an emphasis on disease research and medical device interactions with the body. He has authored over 80 journal, conference, and book chapter publications. In his industry experience, Dr. Cheng has worked at small and large medical device companies, with experience spanning design, manufacturing, preclinical testing, clinical trials, and marketing. Currently, Dr. Cheng is CEO of Koli, Inc., an early-stage medical device company developing a catheter-based solution for gallstone disease. Dr. Cheng is also an Adjunct Professor in the Division of Vascular Surgery at Stanford, where he runs the Vascular Intervention Biomechanics & Engineering (VIBE) lab. Dr. Cheng earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke University. He then earned Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Biomechanics at Stanford University.
