Shawn Shadden PhD

Shawn C. Shadden received a BS degree in aerospace engineering from The University of Texas at Austin in 2001, and a Ph.D. degree in control and dynamical systems from the California Institute of Technology in 2006. He is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on the advancement of theoretical and computational methods to quantify complex fluid flow. From 2006 to 2009, he carried out a US National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to translate his work in dynamical systems to research cardiovascular biomechanics at Stanford University. From 2009 to 2013, he served as an assistant professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL, before joining the faculty at UC Berkeley.
