Bio & Expertise
Dr. Ring’s research focuses on optimizing respiratory support through physiology-driven and technology-enabled approaches, including patient–ventilator interaction, ventilator-associated complications, airway humidification, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and advanced monitoring modalities such as electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and breath-based metabolomics. His work emphasizes bridging bench, bedside, and educational research to improve patient outcomes and inform evidence-based practice in acute and transport medicine.
He has served as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on federally funded and foundation-supported projects examining mechanical ventilation in extreme environments, noninvasive ventilation performance, and emerging diagnostic technologies. Dr. Ring maintains active collaborations with clinicians, engineers, and data scientists and is particularly interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physiology, biomedical engineering, and clinical decision support. He also serves as a peer reviewer and editorial contributor for respiratory and critical care journals.
