Huang Chen
Biography
Huang Chen is a mechanical engineer who uses turbomachinery — the transfer of energy between a rotor and a fluid — to biomedically engineer health solutions, such as improved heart pumps.
Chen leads the Fluid Innovation Lab, where he studies how blood cells interact with medical devices and how to make them more efficient.
His lab is developing new mechanical devices for blood circulation in both adult and pediatric use. His research projects work toward addressing people with end-stage heart failure, along with helping patients who, as infants, underwent treatment for congenital heart defects where only one ventricle is functional.
Chen’s published work includes data-driven modeling for blood flow through aortic valves, and optimized blood flow through arteries.
