Changes in Pulmonary Hemodynamics With Exercise

A graduate research assistant position is available to study the changes in pulmonary hemodynamics and/or right ventricular function that occur with exercise in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Candidates should have a BS and/or MS degree in engineering with interest in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology.

Multi-scale Mechanics of Right Ventricular Failure (RVF)

A graduate research assistant position is available to study the contributions of organ- and myocyte-level dysfunction to RVF using an existing multi-scale computational model of heart function to fill gaps in our understanding of RVF. Candidates should have a BS and/or MS degree in engineering with interest in modeling and cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology.
