It’s a G’day for the BHP lab as our amazing graduate student and full-bright scholar Yasmin Zaman successfully defended her master’s thesis.

Congratulations Maaate! 🇦🇺 Way to hop onto a stellar trajectory 🦘🚀✨

@VaniVellore

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Congratulations to our second summer graduate Vani who successfully defended her thesis on Individualized Differences in Computational Modeling of the Cardiovascular Systems in Altered Gravity 🫀. Vani will continue her doctoral studies with Dr. @rswhittle at @ucdavis ✨

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Howdy Ags! Welcome to the Fall semester. 🍁 Congratulations to our newly minted Dr. Logan Kluis @KluisLogan (Summer’24). Logan will be continuing his professional journey with David Clark Company as a Spacesuit Design Engineer 👨‍🚀 🚀

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Good luck to all our #BHPLab runners this weekend participating in the BCS marathon! @TAMUAero

[Ana Diaz Artiles @adartiles]

Next personal challenge coming up! Excited to push myself outside my comfort zone, especially if I am sharing this experience with most of the @TAMU_BHP students. Let’s do it! 💪🏃‍♀️

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Great work from MS Student @VaniVellore, who presented her MS thesis proposal about modeling individual differences on cardiovascular and respiratory responses to operationally relevant scenarios. Congratulations Vani! @LockheedMartin @TAMUAero

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Do you want to come work with us at @TAMUAero and @TAMU_BHP ?? We are looking for a tenure/tenure track faculty member to join our Bioastronautics and Human Engineering efforts! Looking forward to receiving many applications here:  https://t.co/x0u2aAT03L!

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

Happy Monday!
It’s a huge day in the BHP Lab because it’s @rswhittle’s doctoral dissertation defense! If you’d like to support Rich (at 2PM CST), here is the Zoom link: https://t.co/lHLYky5XDx
Best of luck, Rich!!! ✨

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

So exciting to have Dr. David Klaus tour our lab and speak about the wide range of work happening at @CUBoulder Bioastronautics! 🧫✨

[Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance @TAMU_BHP]

BHP MSc student, Vani Vellore, and @adartiles have been at @IEEEAeroConf for the week 🚀
Today, Vani presented her research on CV responses during parabolic flights, which is in collaboration with @LockheedMartin! Amazing work, Vani !🛫🛬
