Timothy Chung

Timothy K. Chung received his doctorate from the University of Iowa in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Cardiovascular Biomechanics. Throughout his graduate studies, he participated in a wide variety of projects that involved developing a medical device for ocular alignment for a low-cost fundus camera system (patent US 9,814,386 B2), external software reviewer for FDA regulatory submission, performing computational stress and fluid dynamics, and developing an experimental bubble inflation testing apparatus. Dr. Chung joined the University of Pittsburgh as a research specialist, then postdoctoral associate, and is currently a faculty member. He has endeavored into research combining artificial intelligence and biomechanics and the development of experimental systems. Dr. Chung has interests in research that can be translated with commercial viability and currently has 8 invention disclosure submitted and 5 patents (at various stages in the application process).
