Ashwin Nair received his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington in December 2010. Earlier, he obtained his M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. After completing his postdoctoral fellowship from UTA, he joined UTA Bioengineering as a Senior Lecturer in 2014. His primary focus will be on developing and teaching undergraduate BE courses.

His research focuses on the development of tissue engineering scaffolds that can deliver sustained bioactive doses of a chemokines for recruiting stem and progenitor cells for cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissue regeneration applications. In addition, he also works on studies related to inflammatory responses to implanted biomaterials and on the development of novel strategies to treat cancer. He is a reviewer for many journals and conferences, has actively published his work in high impact journals and presented his research at a number of conferences.

In addition to his research, he also devotes his time for community outreach and mentoring activities.
