Patrick M. Boyle

Patrick M. Boyle is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Associate Chair of Operations at the University of Washington's College of Engineering. He leads the Cardiac Systems Simulation (CardSS) Lab, focusing on computational modeling of cardiac electrophysiology, machine learning for cardiovascular disease prediction, and optogenetics-enabled therapies.

His affiliations include the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, Center for Cardiovascular Biology, and eScience Institute. His research explores fibrotic substrates in arrhythmias, personalized 'virtual heart' simulations, and cardiomyocyte-like cells from stem cells.

• Education: Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, University of Calgary (2011); B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, University of Calgary (2005)
• Postdoc: Johns Hopkins University (2011-18)

Boyle's work integrates machine learning, optogenetics, and multi-physics simulations to address arrhythmias, stroke, and regenerative medicine challenges. Recent projects analyze fibrosis-hemodynamics interactions and light-based defibrillation.

Scientific awards include the American Heart Association Collaborative Sciences Award, NIH R01 funding for fibrosis-stroke mechanisms, and the Young Innovator in Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering award. He teaches BIOEN400 (Bioengineering Design) and BIOEN484/584 (Computational Bioelectricity).
