معرفی
Dr. Mahsa Dabagh is an Assistant Professor in both the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM). She leads the Mechanobiology and Vascular Biomechanics Lab, focused on developing computational models to understand disease mechanisms in cancer and vascular pathologies. Her work integrates multiscale modeling with experimental data to study mechanotransduction, tumor microenvironment dynamics, and clinical device design.
Dr. Dabagh holds a PhD from Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland) and completed postdoctoral research at Duke University and Lappeenranta University of Technology. She has expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), biomaterials, and high-performance computing applications in biomedical systems.
Research Interests:
- Mechanobiology of cancer progression
- Vascular biomechanics in cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases
- Computational models of tumor-stromal interactions
- Medical device design for vascular interventions
- High-performance computing for biomedical systems
Recent work analyzes hemodynamic factors in aneurysm growth, cancer cell-endothelium interactions, and wound healing mechanisms. Her group has developed novel strategies for predicting ischemic injury zones and optimizing stent designs using patient-specific models.
Dr. Dabagh has been recognized as an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Biosensors & Bioelectronics, and Topic Board Editor for Applied Sciences. She received multiple awards for teaching and mentoring, including student research awards in undergraduate poster competitions.
