Yun Luo
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Yun Luo is an undergraduate student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Tufts University. Her research is focused on the histological analysis of human abdominal aortic aneurysm tissue samples. Histology is the microstructural anatomy of tissues, which can be used to provide diagnostic information. Experimental data have shown that individual tissue components have characteristic mechanical properties. Correlating the histological and mechanical information is therefore critical to understand formation and growth of AAAs, which kill 14,000 people a year in the US.

She is also a Tisch Scholar at the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, and she is currently working with YouthBuild USA to help programs organize charrettes on green building and research different green building performance standards. She is also a Synaptic Scholar at the Institute for Global Leadership, where she enjoys getting inspired by her peers and they work together to foster intellectual discussions on campus.
