About Juan

Juan Jiménez is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, holding an adjunct appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is also a Manning/IALS Innovation Fellow. Jiménez received his BS degree from Michigan State University in 1999, MSE in 2002 and PhD in 2007 from Princeton University, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. His research centers on the interactions between fluid flow and biology, particularly the role of hemodynamic forces in regulating cellular and biomolecular pathways in vascular diseases and processes involving implantable medical devices. The Jiménez Lab employs engineering principles from fluid dynamics alongside cellular and molecular biology to investigate biofluids such as blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid, aiming to uncover flow-induced biochemical responses with medical applications, including stent design and blood-vessel wound healing.
