Caitlin Neher (she/her/hers)

Graduate Research Assistant
University of Washington
Seattle, Washington, United States

Caitlin Neher is a second-year Ph.D. student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Washington, advised by Dr. Mehmet Kurt. Her research focuses on non-invasive MR-imaging techniques for investigating the mechanical properties and perfusion within the human brain. Caitlin graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2022, with a specialization in biomechanics. In her capstone project, she worked with clinical partners and patients at Swedish Medical Center to design and prototype a device which allows patients with neurological diseases, such as ALS, to independently move their blankets up and down with limited muscle function. She hopes to contribute to ongoing brain biomechanics and disease research as a member of KurtLab. In her free time, Caitlin enjoys trail running, bouldering, and exploring the Pacific Northwest.
