Kimberly Boster

Kimberly Boster is an Assistant Professor (Research) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rochester's Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. Her research merges computational and experimental fluid dynamics to study glymphatic transport—the brain's waste-clearance system.

Education:

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University
• MS in Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University
• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University

Research focuses on cerebral fluid mechanics, perivascular flow quantification, and hydraulic resistance modeling. Recent work employs AI velocimetry to measure in vivo brain fluid dynamics. Previously a Lillian Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellow at Purdue University.
