Education:
- Ph.D., Stanford University
Research interests center on leveraging computational mechanics to study multiscale phenomena in biological systems, particularly integrating data-driven and physics-based models. Key areas include heterogeneous soft tissue mechanics, biomechanics, and machine learning applications in mechanics. Her work emphasizes open science, with contributions to benchmark datasets like the Mechanical MNIST collections and open-source software tools such as SarcGraph and MicroBundleCompute.
Notable awards include the American Heart Association Career Development Award and the David R. Dalton Career Development Professorship. Her research is supported by grants from the NSF, Office of Naval Research, and Boston University’s Dean’s Catalyst Award.
Lab activities include hosting Closer Look Journal Club and contributing to open-access datasets. Current projects explore mechanics of cardiac microtissues, fracture simulations, and machine learning in material science.
