Dr. Keefe B. Manning is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Professor of Surgery (courtesy) at The Pennsylvania State University. He completed his B.S. in Bioengineering in 1995 and his M.S. in Bioengineering in 1997 at Texas A&M University. Subsequently, he completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2001 at Virginia Commonwealth University studying flow of a centrifugal blood pump. He spent 2001-2004 as a post-doctoral scholar at Penn State studying the fluid mechanics of prosthetic heart valves before starting his faculty appointment in 2004 at Penn State. Dr. Manning and his research team study flow associated with cardiovascular devices (e.g., blood pumps, valves, IVC filters, cannulae, thrombectomy technology, and ECMO). His group also studies how clotting occurs with these devices and is developing computational models to predict clot formation and embolization. His group studies acute ischemic stroke and venous thromboembolism. His research has been sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, American Heart Association, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Department of Defense, Grace Woodward Foundation, and industry. He holds fellow status in the American Heart Association, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and Biomedical Engineering Society.
