Kimberley Stevens earned a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Brigham Young University. She collaborated with co-advisors, Dr. Ivan Christov, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Dr. Vitaliy Rayz, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, researching fluid-structure interactions for modeling blood vessels and biomedical devices. Dr. Steven's research was focused in the areas of phase-change heat transfer and superhydrophobic surfaces during her Gilbreth Fellowship. She is continuing her research as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Rochester.
