Dr. C. Alberto Figueroa is the Edward B. Diethrich Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. After earning his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2006, he was appointed as an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at King's College London in 2011 and transitioned to the University of Michigan in 2014. Dr. Figueroa's expertise lies in image-based simulation and hemodynamics. His doctoral research focused on developing techniques for fluid-structure interaction and multi-scale modeling in subject-specific cardiovascular simulations. His current research interests include methods to predict the short-term response of the arterial system to changes in pressure and flow, the pathophysiology of mechano-biology in arterial hypertension, and developing computational tools to evaluate the performance of abdominal and thoracic endografts. He is also developing the open-source software CRIMSON (Cardiovascular Integrated Modeling Simulation), aimed at virtual surgical planning.
