Kaihong Wang
I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering. My research focuses on computational fluids dynamic analysis on patient-specific model based on 4D-flow MRI data. I aim to study the reliable association between hemodynamic indices and aortic growth and disease progression and develop risk stratifications for clinicians in decision-making process.
I completed my Bachelor in Engineering Mechanics at Sichuan University and my MSc in Thermal Power and Fluids Engineering at the University of Manchester. After my MSc, I worked as a research assistant in bioengineering research group at Sichuan University and I started my first research project in the field of aortic dissection.
