Jason Szafron

Jason Szafron is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Professor Szafron received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University, where he completed his undergraduate thesis on endovascular medical device design. He went on to receive his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University, studying the computational optimization of polymeric scaffolds for tissue-engineered vascular grafts. As a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University, he worked on experimental and computational methods for quantifying mechanobiological changes during the progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
