Hai Dong
Overview
Dr. Hai Dong is an Assistant Professor at Emory University. His research focuses on the cardiovascular biomechanics, including constitutive models, growth modeling, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation. The aim of his research is to improve treatments of cardiovascular diseases such as aortic aneurysm and dissection.
Dr. Dong has developed a novel unified-fiber-distribution (UFD) model for vascular tissues. The UFD model can accurately characterize the complex nonlinear/anisotropic mechanical behaviors of vascular tissues using only 4 physical parameters. Due to its merits of simplicity and accuracy, the model has been applied by multiple research groups from prominent institutions such as Washington University, Georgia Tech, and Emory University.
