Jingjie Hu

Bio

Dr. Jingjie Hu’s research focuses on the mechanical behavior of biomedical and biological materials. Her work contributes to this understanding by focusing on the design, fabrication and characterization of bio related structures through integrated mechanics, materials and bioengineering approaches. It combines experimental and theoretical tools that enable the prediction of mechanical behaviors at the nano-, micro- and macro- scales. Dr. Hu’s research is highly interdisciplinary and impacts critical biomedical applications such as cancer detection and vascular embolization. Her long-term goal is to use integrated materials, mechanics and bioengineering approach to deliver low-cost, yet broadly applicable engineering solutions to address unmet clinical needs and benefit patients.
