Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Megan Laughlin is a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville whose research focuses on cardiovascular flow dynamics and biomaterial fixation. She investigates the development of custom wall-less cardiovascular flow phantoms using tissue-mimicking gels, as described in her 2021 publication. Laughlin also examines methods for glutaraldehyde fixation of venous valve tissue, benchmarking alternatives in her 2022 work. Her research interests extend to experimental and computational models for intracardiac flow analysis, including the application of blood speckle imaging, as noted in a 2026 publication. Laughlin has co-authored eight publications and has an h-index of 3 with 38 citations. She collaborates with researchers including Morten Ø. Jensen and Paul C. Millett at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and Elijah H. Bolin at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
