Welcome Azure Wilson to Our Team!
Azure Wilson, Ph.D., joins the Computational Fluid Dynamics lab as an awardee of the NSF funded eFellows Engineering Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her research focuses on the project titled "Microstructure to Macrostructure: Functional Correlates of Advanced Imaging Resolution in 3D Fluid-Structure Interaction Models of Voice Disorders." She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Department of Communication Science and Disorders. Her dissertation, "Preclinical Investigations to Optimize Surgical Restoration of Symmetrical Vocal Fold Vibration," reflects her deep interest in the integration of engineering, biology, and clinical practice.Dr. Wilson brings valuable experience from her previous work with the lab's principal investigator on subject-specific modeling for the diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders. Her expertise in advanced imaging and modeling techniques enhances the lab's research capabilities and drives innovation in research strategies for 3D-FSI modeling.Outside of her research, Dr. Wilson enjoys a variety of hobbies, including gardening, fiber arts, traveling, karaoke, escape rooms, hiking, and swimming.
