Additional Information

Dr. Marsden is a full professor at Stanford and head of the Cardiovascular BioComputational Lab. Dr. Marsden has broad expertise in cardiovascular disease biomechanics and computational modeling. She trained as a mechanical engineer (Princeton BS, Stanford PhD) with expertise in computational science and fluid mechanics before moving into the biomedical field. She has extensive experience with cardiovascular medical devices, including stents, ventricular assist devices, hemolysis and thrombosis, pediatric devices, catheters, and heart valves. She has a particular focus on computational fluid dynamics simulations and finite element modeling of the cardiovascular system, including the incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence into clinical decision making. She has worked extensively in pediatric cardiology, applying computational modeling to congenital heart disease for surgical planning and medical device evaluation. She has served as a consultant for medical device start up companies and is a co-founder of an early stage cardiovascular device company. She has experience with intellectual property in the medical device space. She is a fellow of several prominent scientific societies including APS, BMES, and SIAM and she is a recipient of the Van C. Mow Medal from the ASME.
