I work on the development of computational models that incorporate internal (subcellular) mechanisms. They broaden our understanding of how cells interact with one another and transmit forces in blood vessel formation and disease (asthma and cancer).• Developed computational models in C++ and Python based on mechanical principles• Ran large scale computational studies in a high performance computer cluster• Developed algorithms in MATLAB for identification and tracking of collectives in force magnitude spatial maps• Used PCA to find relevant parameters in experimental studies• Supervised two master's theses• Authored 4 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 book chapter, and 10 scientific abstracts
