Dr. Nicolas Maragos was born and raised in Wisconsin, did his undergraduate (Chemistry) and medical school studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI, and completed ...residency training at the Mayo Graduate achool of Medicine in Rochester, MN. He joined the Mayo Clinic Otorhinolaryngology staff upon graduation in 1977 and is an Emeritus Consultant of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Mayo since his retirement in 2010.
Dr. Maragos’ career began with head and neck cancer and reconstructive surgery. However his medical life changed in 1985 when he was fortunate to hear a lecture by a future mentor, Dr. Nobuhiko Isshiki, speaking about his ideas, research, and surgical results with laryngeal framework surgery (LFS). Since then Dr. Maragos has directed or co-directed a dozen LFS cadaver dissection courses both at Mayo and with his colleagues in the Netherlands, and he continues to lecture nationally and internationally. Today’s lecture seeks to analyze the increasing hazards of practicing medicine as viewed from both practioner and patient perspectives.[+] Show More

Luc Mongeau, PhD, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University. Dr. Luc Mongeau is a Mechanical Engineer by training, ...with B.Eng. and M. Eng. Degrees from the University of Montreal, Canada. He has obtained his Ph.D. in Acoustics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1991. He first entered the field of voice biomechanics when he built a mechanical replica of the human larynx for flow measurements as Postdoctoral Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. After joining Purdue University in 1993, Dr. Mongeau climbed through the ranks while conducting research in Aero- and Thermos-Acoustics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Noise and Vibration control. His research interests increasingly focused on the biomechanics of voice production. He investigated laryngeal flows, sound production mechanisms, and viscoelastic properties using both experimental and computational methods. Dr. Mongeau joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in 2006, where he conducts research on tissue engineering of the human larynx for voice restoration. He presently holds the Tier I Canada Research Chair in Voice Biomechanics and Mechano-biology. He has published over 100 peer reviewed journal articles on various aspects of voice production and tissue engineering of the human vocal folds. He has supervised many graduate students that have grown to become (… or have always been …) independent researchers in the field of Voice Biomechanics. He is a member of the Voice Foundation, a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, a Senior Member of the AIAA, and a member of the Canadian Society of Biomaterials, and the European Society of Biomechanics.[+] Show More
