Cardiovascular Biomechanics Computation Lab

The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Computation Lab at Stanford develops novel computational methods for the study of cardiovascular disease progression, surgical methods, and medical devices.


Our interests include:  cardiovascular disease and biofluid mechanics, shape optimization for complex flows, pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease, vascular surgery, derivative-free optimization methods, uncertainty quantification, multiscale modeling, vascular design principles, vascular growth and remodeling, thrombosis, cardiovascular device design, Kawasaki Disease, bypass graft optimization, ventricular assist devices


Our lab supports the SimVascular open source project at: simvascular.org
