Research Interests
My research interests include blood flow modeling in circulatoriy pathologies (stenoses, aneurysms) and the influence of the flow on these diseases, the study of the mechanical properties of vascular tissues (vascular wall and arterial plaques, erythrocytes membrane), the design, development and evaluation of cardiovascular devices (heart pumps, heart valves, stents, catheters) using numerical, experimental and animal models and image processing for medical diagnosis (motion analysis, tissue charactierization).
Current Research Projects
- Main objective: Study the biomechanics of cardiovascular tissues and design and optimize cardiovascular devices.
- Main Equipment: - PIV system for flow visualization, Rheometer for viscoelasticy, Mechanical tester for soft tissue, Modeling software CFX, Matlab, Ansys, Pro-E, Femlab
