Alexey Kamenskiy, PhD
- Professor and Chair
- Biomechanics
General Information
Biography
Dr. Kamenskiy’s research focuses on understanding human artery function and pathophysiology with the goal of developing more efficient and practical solutions to vascular problems. His team uses ex vivo human artery characterization methods and perfused cadaver models, computational modeling, and in vivo preclinical large animal models and human data to design and evaluate new vascular and endovascular repair materials and devices.
Teaching Interests
Cardiovascular biomechanics, mechanobiology, and mechanophysiology
Research Interests
Experimental and computational vascular mechanobiology and mechanophysiology, vascular pathology and aging, devices and materials for open and endovascular repairs
Education
Ph D, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, USA, Engineering Mechanics, 2009
