Alberto Figueroa received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, where he developed fluid-structure interaction methods for blood flow analysis. He was a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences at King’s College London. Dr. Figueroa is currently the Edward B. Diethrich M.D. Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Vascular Surgery at the University of Michigan.Dr. Figueroa’s research group develops tools for the modeling of blood flow. These tools combine imaging, machine learning, and computational methods of fluid and solid mechanics. His group develops the modeling software CRIMSON and he is also the co-founder of AngioInsight, Inc. a company which develops AI tools for assessment of coronary artery disease using x-ray angiography.
