~60 words

Mahdi Jazini is a sensor systems and embedded hardware engineer and a bioengineering PhD candidate at the University of Pittsburgh. After three years of production hardware design in industry, he built an arm-cuff monitor that tracked cardiac output in 34 surgical patients about as well as invasive pulse-contour monitoring (83% vs. 81% trending concordance). His work has received five awards.
