Federal Project Grant Award Summary Rochester Institute of Technology received a $558,713 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems, effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031. The grant funds fundamental research investigating unsteady inertial flow dynamics in confined pulsatile flow systems, with specific application to understanding how human body movements affect blood flow dynamics within aneurysms. The research employs an advanced experimental platform integrating a robotic arm, aneurysm flow phantom, and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to simulate body movements and measure resulting changes in aneurysmal flow patterns. The research deliverables include development of a scaling law characterizing the relationship between human movement and aneurysmal flow dynamics, with validation under realistic physiological conditions. The findings are intended to generate evidence-based exercise recommendations for aneurysm patients to reduce rupture risk. The award emphasizes integrated educational components including hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students, K-12 bioengineering outreach initiatives, and fluid mechanics curriculum development for non-engineering audiences, thereby supporting workforce development and public engagement in biomedical engineering and fluid dynamics research.
