Dr. Bruno V. Rego joined the Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering at Louisiana State University as an Assistant Professor in August 2023. He was previously a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University, and holds B.S. and M.S.E./Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Texas at Austin, respectively. His doctoral research, funded by both a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and an American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship, focused on the remodeling of heart valve tissues in response to myocardial infarction and pregnancy. Dr. Rego's recent work includes predictive modeling of vascular maturation, uncertainty quantification of inverse modeling-based estimates of arterial wall properties, and the development and validation of machine learning models to predict aortic dissection and aneurysm progression. Dr. Rego has published 22 peer-reviewed articles and 4 book chapters, and his work has been presented at scientific conferences over 50 times. His research has been highlighted on journal covers 4 times and has also been featured by 11 popular media outlets, including ScienceDaily, EurekAlert, News Medical, and Becker's Hospital Review. He is a member of the IMAG Committee on Credible Practice of Modeling & Simulation in Healthcare as well as the ASME-BED Solid Mechanics Technical Committee and serves as a reviewer for more than a dozen archival journals.
