Research summary
AI-generated

Michael W. Plesniak studies fluid dynamics, particularly how blood and other fluids move through curved and branching vessels such as the carotid artery, and how these flow patterns relate to disease (e.g., atherosclerosis) and to engineered tissues like 3D-printed blood vessels. His work combines experimental flow measurement techniques (such as particle image velocimetry) with applications in biomedical engineering, including bioprinting and material characterization of biological tissues. This research is relevant to students interested in biofluid mechanics, cardiovascular engineering, or tissue engineering.
