Congratulations to Phiphi on completing the Mentoring Summer Research Internship Program (MSRIP)! During the program, she participated in a series of seminars and workshops designed to strengthen her research skills. Phiphi then applied these skills in her innovative work on particle image velocimetry (PIV) phantoms. We’re excited to see where her journey takes her next!
Congratulations to Dr. Lee and Dr. Aggarwal from the University of Glasgow on receiving the prestigious International Visiting Professorship Award (IVPA) from the American Heart Association! This award recognizes their collaborative efforts to advance cardiovascular research through international partnership. The IVPA will support their joint initiatives in computational biomechanics and vascular health, fostering knowledge exchange...
Congratulations to Phiphi on her acceptance into the UC LEADS program! After successfully completing her time as an MSRIP scholar, she has been advanced to UC LEADS—a prestigious two-year research mentorship program. She will continue her work on developing a PDMS aneurysm phantom for in-vitro flow loop experiments, contributing to ongoing efforts to model aneurysm...
We’re excited to announce the opening of the BBDL Wet Lab in Spring 2024! This new space marks a major milestone for the Bioengineering and Biomaterials Design Lab, expanding our capabilities for experimental research in biomaterials, biomechanics, and vascular device development. With state-of-the-art equipment and a collaborative environment, the wet lab will provide new opportunities...
The BBDL welcomes Zach Molander to the lab. Zach will be starting his PhD this year with a focus on developing devices for aneurysm treatment. His past research experience and passion will hopefully serve him well in our lab. We are excited to see the contributions he'll make as he begins this next chapter.
The BBDL is excited to share that Dr. Chung‑Hao Lee has officially joined the Department of Bioengineering at UC Riverside as an Associate Professor. With his expertise in multi-scale computational biomechanics and cardiovascular modeling, Dr. Lee’s appointment marks an exciting new chapter for both the lab and the department. His leadership and interdisciplinary research will...
The BBDL would like to congratulate Dr. Lee, Dr. Yu (Lehigh), and Dr. Richardson (University of Arkansas) on receiving an R01 grant award from the NIH NIGMS. Their project, titled "Integrate Data-Driven Modeling and Multi-Scale Measures Towards Tissue Function," aims to bridge computational modeling with experimental data to better understand tissue-level behavior. This interdisciplinary effort...
