Laura Ellwein Fix, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. She received her doctorate of philosophy from North Carolina State University. Ellwein Fix develops mathematical models to simulate and analyze transport phenomena in cardiorespiratory physiology. Her primary focus is on lumped parameter models describing system-level dynamics and regulation, and she also has experience with distributed parameter models of local hemodynamics. Her work is interdisciplinary and she collaborates with researchers in biomedical engineering, medicine, and exercise science.
