Ga-young Kelly Suh

Dr. Ga-young Kelly Suh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), with a secondary appointment as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Surgery – Vascular at Stanford University. She joined CSULB in Fall 2019 after completing her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University and a postdoctoral fellowship in Stanford's Department of Surgery – Vascular (2011–2016). Her multidisciplinary research bridges engineering and clinical practice, focusing on computational modeling and medical imaging to optimize endovascular surgeries.

Her research integrates computational fluid dynamics, geometric analysis, and clinical data acquisition to study vascular biomechanics. Key interests include:

• Dynamic behavior of aortic endografts under physiological stresses
• Medical imaging techniques for 3D vascular reconstruction
• Predictive modeling of surgical outcomes for aneurysms and dissections
• Development of low-cost diagnostic tools and educational methodologies

Recent publications (2021–2025) emphasize aortic pathologies, stent mechanics, and educational innovations. Over 70% of articles involve computational analysis of vascular dynamics, with emerging work in wearable biosensors and microfluidics. Awards are not documented in available sources.

She advises undergraduate and graduate students through scheduled office hours and course guidance (BME 200/311/490B). No grants or lab details are mentioned, though her institutional website references the Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC).
