~50 words

Mahdi Jazini is a PhD candidate in bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh’s Cardiovascular Health Tech Lab. He builds custom hardware, signal processing, and machine learning for non-invasive hemodynamic monitors — including a cuff-based cardiac-output device that matched invasive gold standards in 34 surgical patients. His work has received four awards including the Outstanding Paper Award at MACSOS 2025 and Top Prize at Safar 2026.
