Summary
Steven Labelle is a biomedical engineer and research associate with 8 years of experience blending computational mechanics and wet-lab experimentation to probe cell–matrix interactions and tissue mechanics. His PhD-driven work at the University of Utah pairs C++ development for the open-source FEBio finite element platform with custom hydrogel experiments, imaging (SHG/2P), and material testing to link mechanics with angiogenesis, wound healing, and rehabilitation outcomes. He brings hands-on design and prototyping skills (CAD, 3D printing, machining) alongside programming (C++, Python, MATLAB, Bash) and a track record of mentoring students and translating collaborative research into publications and grant renewals. Notably, he has developed multiphysics models predicting tissue- and disease-specific mechanical effects on vessel growth while also engineering bespoke culture chambers and compression jigs to validate those predictions experimentally.
