Graduate and Undergraduate Researcher

• Advisor: Jonathan Butcher, Ph.D.
• Researched mechanotransductory relationship between hemodynamic forces and pharyngeal arch artery (PAA) remodeling during critical developmental stages of avian outflow tract development. Performed computational fluid dynamics simulations on reconstructed micro-CT geometries to determine the mechanical forces acting on vessel walls. Correlated hemodynamic forces to geometric changes in PAAs. Reconstructed 3D geometries on day 3 to day 7 chick embryos with Mimics, 3-matic, and Geomagic software packages. Presented findings at laboratory meetings every semester.
