Dr. Haifeng Wang is a Research Associate (postdoc) on the NIH-funded project 'Mechanisms of coronary flow heterogeneity: Implications for coronary sinus occlusion therapy', led by Dr. Lik Chuan Lee (Michigan State University) and Dr. Ghassan Kassab (California Medical Innovation Institute). He's developing an experimentally validated, physics-based mathematical modeling framework. This framework couples the entire coronary vasculature, spanning arteries, veins, and capillaries, with cardiac mechanics. The primary goal is to understand coronary flow heterogeneity and novel therapies. Dr. Wang earned his Doctor in Engineering from the prestigious doctoral program (IMPRS-SurMat) at International Max Planck Research School and Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany; During that time, he focused on computational investigations of brain aneurysms utilizing CFD and FSI methods. His research interests span both fundamental and translational aspects of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases and their potential treatments.
