Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMeisam Asgari is an Assistant Professor and director of the Biological Materials, Bioinspiration, and Biomechanics Lab at the University of South Florida, with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from McGill and a career bridging multi-scale mechanics, biomechanics, and bio-inspired materials. He studies toughening mechanisms in mineralized tissues and nano-to-macro changes in soft tissues, currently investigating extracellular matrix remodeling in human aorta linked to aneurysm and stenosis. His path includes postdoctoral fellowships at McGill and Northwestern (NSERC PDF) and a multi-year research associate role, reflecting deep expertise in AFM, nano-DMA, and experimental-theoretical mechanics. An active educator and award-winning TA, he also contributes to open-source software as a full-stack developer on projects like Owncast, demonstrating practical software skills alongside lab leadership. Based in Tampa, he blends rigorous mechanics modeling with hands-on nano-mechanical experimentation to translate biological insights into advanced material design. Colleagues note his appetite for fixing old code and making new mistakes—a candid hint at pragmatic curiosity and continuous learning.
