Hello and welcome to my web page! My name is Matthew Dovedytis (22) and I’m currently a Biomedical Engineering graduate student at Stony Brook University.

A little bit about myself:

I came to Stony Brook University in August of 2016 in pursuit of a Bachelors’s in biomedical engineering.  Originally, I had no interest in furthering my education past a 4-year degree. However, I was accepted into Stony Brook’s Accelerated Master’s Program which motivated me to continue my education.

Despite being an intensive major, I still found time to enjoy some of the activities I love with people I’ve met through Stony Brook University. I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and most importantly, hanging with friends. My fondest memories are watching the World Series on the couch of my dorm with my roommates!

Currently, I’m a graduate student in Dr. Bluestein’s lab working on the design and fabrication of a left ventricle flow loop.

The left ventricle flow loop currently used in lab requires a complete redesign. The small volume flow loop is used for platelet activity state testing of prosthetic aortic heart valves. The current setup is considered to be not ideal, very difficult to assemble, and difficult to generate a consistent fluid volume/actuation. In my redesign, I’m trying to tackle several design requirements such as:

1. Ease of assembly
2. Consistency of the fluid chamber
3. Consistent compliance/resistance
4. Physiological ventricle design and actuation
5. Flow and pressure monitorization
