Research Interests

My research involves studying complex blood flow in vivo and in life-size models to reveal the physical forces that may contribute to disease development and progression, as well as recreating aspects of these flow environments in microfluidic ‘lab-on-a-chip’ devices to elucidate the responsible cellular mechanisms.
