Eng Kuan Moo

Eng Kuan Moo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University, with an adjunct role as Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on tissue and cell biomechanics, mechanobiology, microscopic imaging techniques (e.g., confocal, multi-photon), continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and tissue engineering. He leads the MUBEST Lab (https://carleton.ca/mubest-lab/), exploring structure-composition-function relationships in soft connective tissues, particularly articular cartilage and skeletal muscles.

Dr. Moo holds a Ph.D. from the University of Malaya. His work combines experimental and theoretical approaches to understand how mechanical forces influence cell-tissue interactions, aiming to advance biofabrication of functional tissue substitutes for soft tissue injuries. Key research themes include cartilage biomechanics, hydrogel reinforcement, and the role of collagen networks in tissue integrity.

His recent publications span topics such as cartilage proteoglycan degradation, crack morphology in loaded tissues, and sarcomere dynamics in muscles. He collaborates internationally, contributing to conferences like the Rocky Mountain Muscle Symposium. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his extensive peer-reviewed output reflects recognition in biomechanical research.
