On Friday, August 15, Tiffany and Shubi presented their research at the 2025 MSRIP Conference hosted at UC Riverside. This full-day event brought together undergraduate researchers, graduate students, and faculty to share projects and exchange ideas.
Tiffany presented her poster, “Tricuspid Valve Simulation Applied Through the Right Heart Simulator,” highlighting how simulation-based approaches can improve understanding of cardiac valve function. She engaged with fellow researchers throughout the day, answering questions and receiving valuable feedback.
Shubi delivered an oral presentation on “Investigation of the Time-Dependent Mechanical Properties due to Elastin Degradations in Porcine Mitral Valve Anterior Leaflets.” She described her approach to measuring partial elastin degradation over time, an important step toward assessing its impact on valve biomechanics.
Both presentations encouraged thoughtful conversations and reflected the ongoing curiosity and dedication driving research in this field.
