FLOWLab is delighted to share that we launched our signature in house Outreach and Community Engagement module named HEART-AI at the recently concluded Triple-E Fair at CU Boulder. HEART-AI stands for Health Equity exposure Accessed via Real-Time AI, and is a pilot effort at bringing FLOWLab's knowledge on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to the broader community, and raising awareness about various factors associated with healthcare (risks, disparities etc.) with cardiovascular diseases as an example scenario. The work would not have been possible without key support from our collaborators, the mechanical engineering department, and - most importantly - FLOWLab's research trainees Ricardo Roopnarinesingh, Nick Rovito, Jessica Holmes, and Scott Malloy (all pictured here happily bringing HEART-AI to middle schoolers). We look forward to further growing our efforts, and continuing to bring HEART-AI to the greater Front Range community. Congratulations Team!

FLOWLab is delighted to announce that PI Debanjan Mukherjee was selected as one of 3 recipients of the Spring 2026 edition of the Catalyzing Research Teaming (CRT) Grant Awards from the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Colorado Boulder. As part of this award, Debanjan (and FLOWLab) will lead an interdisciplinary research effort on healthcare analytics and digital twins with four other investigators across multiple departments in the College. We are grateful to have been given this opportunity, and look forward to some exciting new work coming out of this endeavor. Thank you to CEAS at CU Boulder, and the reviewers!
FLOWLab is delighted to announce that our doctoral trainee Jessica Holmes has received an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from the Paul M Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering for her contributions as a teaching assistant for the undergraduate fluid mechanics curriculum, and for her supportive contributions towards running a pilot on Generative AI platforms in teaching and learning in engineering classrooms (through her work as a fluid mechanics TA). Through this award, Jessica continues to build upon a successful tradition of teaching excellence amongst doctoral trainees in FLOWLab. Congratulations Jessica!
FLOWLab is delighted to announce that doctoral trainee Ricardo Roopnarinesingh has recently won the Thomas and Brenda Geers Graduate Fellowship at the University of Colorado Boulder Paul M Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Geers Fellowship is awarded to recognize PhD trainees in the area of solid mechanics and fluid mechanics who exhibit extraordinary capabilities and potential. This award is in recognition of Ricardo's excellent work on developing in silico tools for embolic strokes. Congratulations Ricardo!
We are pleased to announce that FLOWLab PhD student Nick Rovito is the recipient of the 2025 Singh Graduate Fellowship, from the Paul M Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, at the University of Colorado Boulder. This fellowship was established to support exceptional CU Boulder mechanical engineering graduate students who are pursuing research in bioengineering or biomechanical studies. Congratulations Nick!
The FLOWLab team is happy to share the updated release of the FLATiron Toolkit - our open-source finite element library designed with a focus on multiphysics coupled simulations for flow and transport processes. The latest version of the toolkit can be accessed via our GitHub page here. or also by visiting the "Research" page of our website. Thanks to all lead contributors: Nick Rovito, Chayut Teeraratkul, and Jessica Holmes! Please reach out with any questions or collaborative project ideas.
FLOWLab wrapped up a successful edition of the ASME SB3C Summer Bioengineering Conference this past week. Team PI Debanjan Mukherjee was a part of the main conference organizing committee, in the capacity of information chair. FLOWLab doctoral trainee Ricardo Roopnarinesingh presented a poster on his work on computational pipeline to integrate medical images and clinical information into in silico models. FLOWLab undergraduate trainee Alena Tucker was one of the finalists of the SBC 2025 BS Student Paper Competition, where she presented our work on in vitro modeling of drug delivery in the brain. The team also took the time to grab a quick photograph with the beautiful views that the venue Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico offered.
We are delighted to announce that FLOWLab doctoral trainee Nick Rovito is a recipient of the 2025 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP) award! This award will support Nick's PhD research on advancing in silico modeling and quantitative analysis of vascular drug delivery techniques with a focus on thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke. This will also enable Nick to explore some of his interests in engineering education and pedagogy, enabling broader impacts of his work and building on some of FLOWLab's ongoing education and pedagogy work as well. Congratulations Nick on this well-deserved honor!
We at FLOWLab at University of Colorado Boulder College of Engineering & Applied Science are excited to share that our latest article "Hemodynamics indicates differences between patients with and without a stroke outcome after left ventricular assist device implantation." is now available online at Computers in Biology and Medicine!

There is more LVAD and mechanical circulatory support research underway at FLOWLab. Interested to learn more, collaborate, or discuss this article (or other works from our team)? Please send us an email; or reach out to our lab through our contacts page. FLOWLab at the University of Colorado Boulder College of Engineering & Applied Science is delighted to share that our PhD trainee Nick Rovito was declared the winner (first-place) at the Young Engineer Paper (YEP) contest organized by the ASME Fluids Engineering Division (FED) at the recently concluded ASME IMECE 2024 in Portland, OR. Nick's award is in recognition of his research on in silico modeling of thrombolytic therapy for stroke; continuing on our research group's thematic emphasis on bringing advanced computational tools and models to understand physiological and pathological processes underlying diseases like stroke. This is a major recognition for student research, and we wholeheartedly congratulate Nick on his tremendous accomplishment!
FLOWLab is proud to announce the publication or our latest article titled "Computational Fluid Dynamic Assessment of Patients with Congenital Heart Disease from 3D Rotational Angiography" along with collaborators Jenny Zablah and Michael Shorofsky from Children's Colorado. The research presented in this article was spearheaded by talented FLOWLab undergraduate researcher Kelly Cao. We demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing a protocol that combines multi-planar reconstructed 3D rotational angiography imaging with cardiac catheterization lab hemodynamic data; to fully characterize the flow patterns in a reconstructive surgical anastomosis via CFD. You can find the article linked HERE.
Please feel free to review our article, and reach out to us with any questions or comments! And congratulations to Kelly and our collaborators!
FLOWLab team had an active and successful presence at the recently concluded 76th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting held at Washington DC. Our team presented a series of 5 technical talks, spanning various projects across the research program within the lab. The talks also featured our complete spectrum of trainees: undergraduate, MS, PhD, and post-doctoral. Congratulations to team FLOWLab on yet another successful APS DFD meeting!
