The papers are signed and the cross-country move preparations have begun. I'll be returning to research in mid-March as a staff scientist for the
Stanford Simbios program, part of
Stanford's Bio-X initiative. Initially, most of my time will be spent working with the
Cardiovascular Biomechanics Research Lab, a large interdisciplinary group that, in part, models patient-specific blood flow for research and clinical applications. Cardiovascular simulations from the CBR Lab will be reworked into a framework being developed by other Simbios team members. The goal: an open-source framework for simulating biological function, useful for both research and clinical care. It's a great opportunity for me to significantly deepen my knowledge of biosimulation, and hopefully, we'll make some cool software that can help people.
