Bryan Good is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, holding this position since August 2020 after completing an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship at Penn State University and Hershey Neuroscience Institute.
His educational qualifications include:
- PhD in Bioengineering from Penn State University (2017)
- BS in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2012)
- BS in Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2012)
Dr. Good's research centers on cardiovascular biomechanics with critical focus areas in acute ischemic stroke, congenital heart disease, and thrombosis. His lab integrates computational fluid dynamics and experimental methodologies to investigate blood flow dynamics, medical device-tissue interactions, and biomaterial properties. Key projects include mechanical thrombectomy optimization for stroke intervention, vascular remodeling studies in pediatric patients, and development of mock circulatory systems for device testing. His work emphasizes translational collaboration with clinicians to address real-world cardiovascular challenges.
Analysis of his 10 publications (2015-2020) reveals consistent expertise in medical device validation using FDA benchmark models, with significant contributions to ventricular assist device optimization and pediatric cardiovascular applications. His research demonstrates sophisticated application of fluid-structure interaction modeling and biorheology principles to solve clinical problems in both adult stroke treatment and congenital heart disease management.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Young Investigator Finalist at the 6th International Conference on Clinical and Engineering Frontiers in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease (2019)
- Trainee Scholarship from Michigan Cardiovascular Innovation Workshop (2017)
- Koff Award for Outstanding Abstract at ASAIO Conference (2016)
- Villforth and Riess Graduate Assistantship Awards from Penn State University (2016, 2015)
- Travel Award from International Society of Biorheology (2015)
As principal investigator of the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab, Dr. Good mentors graduate students in biomedical engineering research while securing external funding including his prior American Heart Association fellowship. He serves as peer reviewer for 10+ leading journals including Journal of Biomechanical Engineering and Annals of Biomedical Engineering, and maintains active memberships in the American Heart Association and Biomedical Engineering Society.
The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab under Dr. Good's direction specializes in experimental and computational analysis of cardiovascular devices and pathologies, utilizing particle image velocimetry, laser Doppler systems, and advanced CFD modeling to develop solutions for stroke treatment, congenital heart disease, and medical device optimization through close clinical partnerships.
