My research involves applying physics to problems inspired by health issues and medical technology, particularly related to blood flow. My lab develops models and techniques to study parameters affecting flow in blood vessels such as in arteries, aneurysms, or fetal-placental networks. We also develop and use microfluidic devices, or miniature ‘lab-on-a-chip’ systems, where we can grow cells in micro-channels and study their response to different types of flow-related stimulus (i.e., mechanobiology).
