Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVijay Vedula is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University and leads the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Research Lab, where he develops computational and multi-physics tools to improve understanding, treatment planning, and device design for heart disease. With a decade of research experience spanning Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and UC San Diego, his work blends image-based hemodynamics, immersed boundary methods, and high-performance computing to tackle patient-specific cardiac problems. He began his career in industry on aerospace and CFD teams (GE Aviation, OpenFOAM development) before transitioning to bioengineering, bringing rigorous fluid dynamics and numerical methods to clinical-scale challenges. Based in Palo Alto, he maintains ties to open-source cardiovascular modeling (SimVascular) and applies insights from developmental mechanics (zebrafish) to innovate in cardiac health.
