Position Summary
Collaborates with the lab Principal Investigators and clinicians to lead efforts to develop innovative technological solutions by applying engineering principles and mathematical modeling approaches to inform clinical decision-making, and to experimentally evaluate these solutions through benchtop and animal testing. Leads effort to disseminate results to the engineering and medical communities through oral presentations and publications at Conferences and Seminars.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply a range of computational modeling approaches, including 3D structural finite element methods and reduced-order (1D and zero-D) computational fluid dynamics methods, to aid in patient-specific decision-making using custom-written computer programs.
• Work with cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and nurses to obtain patient data necessary for quantitative modeling.
• Coordinate, direct, and execute engineering activities of technical projects to ensure that goals and objectives are accomplished within prescribed timeframe and budget.
• Partner with a range of healthcare professionals to translate their surgical and medical needs into detailed technical roadmaps, timelines, and deliverables.
• Identify starting points for new clinical engineering processes, work with stakeholders to design and implement workflows, and scale engineering processes according to clinical feedback over multiple iterations.
• Develop novel procedures and workflows to meet pre-surgical modeling needs and provide data-driven feedback to stakeholders.
• Organize and lead meetings with clinicians and engineers as needed to foster collaboration and communication.

Minimum Qualifications
Education:

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or a related field; a master’s degree is preferred.

Experience:

• At least five years of relevant experience is required.
