Peter Balogh received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Rutgers University in 2018. He developed a method for modeling blood cells flowing through complex capillary networks in 3D, for which he was awarded the Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics from the American Physical Society. He is currently a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. His research interests include computational fluid dynamics modeling of biological flows, numerical methods for complex fluid-structure interfaces, and code development for high performance computing. His current research is focused on modeling cancer cells and their transport through the circulatory system, and on investigating the remodeling of microvasculatures through comparisons with experiments.
