PhD Student, Biomedical Engineering
Bio
Jon Ibinson is a PhD student, studying Biomedical Engineering. Jon graduated from The Ohio State University in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Statistics. Here, Jon worked with Dr. Cynthia Roberts and Dr. Matthew Reilly to study intraocular pressure measurement systems. Jon also spent a summer at Purdue University, joining Dr. Vitaliy Rayz’s group to model intracranial aneurysms using computational fluid dynamics. Currently, he is interested in the potential cardiovascular complications of lung transplantation and the mechanobiological differences of single vs double lung transplants. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, Jon enjoys hiking, rock climbing, weightlifting, watching baseball, and visiting Pittsburgh’s museums.
