Molly is a Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. candidate interested in using the principles of tissue biomechanics to explore the emerging field of cardio-obstetrics. Her primary project investigates the short and long-term impacts of pregnancy on the heart by focusing on cardiac growth and remodeling during the postpartum period. Her goal is to understand how various hormonal and mechanical cues impact the patient's heart during postpartum recovery.
