Alfred Winborne Mordecai and Victoria Stover Mordecai Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University.

My research in biomedical simulation and high performance computing focuses on the development of new computational tools that we use to provide insight into the localization and development of human diseases ranging from atherosclerosis to cancer.

Before this, I was a a Lawrence Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I also worked as a Visiting Scientist in Prof. Franziska Michor's group in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In 2013, I received my Ph.D. in Applied Physics at Harvard University with a secondary field in Computational Science. The focus of my thesis research was a multiscale model coupling the fluid dynamics of blood plasma with the movement of red blood cells from which we can start to elucidate trends and aid prognosis of cardiovascular disease based on high-resolution patient-specific data. The scale of these simulations requires the use of high performance supercomputers, so much of my work focused on the study of methods to improve the application's parallel performance.
