research

Currently, I am working with my advisor, Aaron Fogelson, on modeling blood clot formation and termination in flow. I also worked with Aaron Fogelson and Laura Miller on mechanotransduction and flow through the endothelial surface layer. 

For more information on current research projects, see my research page.
