Biography

Stan M. Yamashiro is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California. He obtained his Doctoral Degree in Biomedical Engineering from USC in 1970. His academic career began as an Assistant Professor at USC from 1971 to 1974, where he taught bio-instrumentation and medical electronics while conducting research on peripheral circulation and cardiopulmonary regulation. He progressed to Associate Professor from 1974 to 1982, focusing on medical electronics and signal processing. Since 1982, he has served as a Professor, emphasizing the teaching of cardiovascular pulmonary physiology and instrumentation. His research interests encompass magnetocardiography and gas exchange enhancement, particularly in developing mathematical models for the training use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenators (ECMO). His work explores optimization in respiratory control during exercise, offering insights into breathing patterns and the mechanics of respiratory muscles. Yamashiro has made significant contributions to understanding the cardiac conduction system using multiple-channel magnetocardiography. His research has implications for both clinical practices and the advancement of biomedical technologies.
