Dr. Kristin S. Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University. Dr. Miller’s research interests are focused on the mechanobiology of soft tissues. Particularly, Dr. Miller’s research group is evaluating the role of elastic fibers in the female reproductive system. Before joining Tulane, Dr. Miller conducted postdoctoral research in vascular remodeling with Dr. Jay Humphrey at Yale University. Dr. Miller received her PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where her research focused on tendon mechanics. In 2018 Kristin was awarded the NSF CAREER award to develop a biomechanical model that can predict how elastic fibers in the soft tissues of the female reproductive system changes in response to mechanical pressure.
