Will received a B.S. in Biological Engineering with high honors from the University of Arkansas in 2007, a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2012, and postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia as an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2016, he joined Clemson University and started the Systems Mechanobiology Lab. The lab’s expertise is in matrix systems mechanobiology, focusing on the use of in silico systems modeling to identify cell and matrix processes regulating tissue structure, conducted alongside in vitro and in vivo experiments to test model predictions. Integrating these models and experiments, the lab pursues a multi-scale, systems-level understanding of tissue fibrosis in order to engineer novel technologies for controlling fibrotic remodeling via cell-matrix mechanobiology.
