Engineering Cardiovascular Health with Jessica Wagenseil

In this episode of Engineering the Future, Jessica Wagenseil, professor of mechanical engineering & materials science and Vice Dean for Faculty Advancement, discusses how her interdisciplinary work combines mechanics and biology to understand cardiovascular health. Wagenseil uses computational models to predict disease progression and collaborates with physicians to help inform clinical decision-making and future therapies. She also shares her experiences with teaching, mentorship and outreach, including her work with the BrightPath STEAM Academy to encourage local youth interest in science and engineering.
