Rohan Amare, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Rohan holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, specializing in bioheat transfer and biophysics. With a keen interest in computational modeling, he uses medical imaging data to simulate blood flow and mass transport. His current research goal is to develop predictive frameworks for specific cancer treatments.
Mahesh Nandyala, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Mahesh has been a joint postdoctoral fellow at UT MD Anderson (Fuentes Lab) and UT Austin (Yankeelov Lab) since July 2023. His research interest is computational oncology, focusing on numerical modeling of cancer treatments such as neoadjuvant treatments (NAT) and nanoparticle-assisted thermal therapies. Currently, he is working on the computational prediction of magnetic hyperthermia treatment in rodent models with Dr. Fuentes and the optimization of breast cancer NAT using MRI-informed patient data with Dr. Yankeelov.
