Shawn C. Shadden is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in biofluids, biomechanics, dynamical systems, hemodynamics, and fluid mechanics. His research focuses on understanding fluid transport in complex biological systems, including the cardiovascular system, through advanced computational methods and Lagrangian coherent structures. He develops open-source tools like SimVascular for cardiovascular simulation and applies these to study hemodynamics in aneurysms, thrombus growth, and coronary artery aneurysms. His work also explores fluid dynamics in ocean flows and multi-agent systems, emphasizing the interplay between fluid mechanics and biological processes.
