I completed my PhD in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. My PhD research aimed to provide more insights into the hemodynamics in novel endografts developed for treating complex aortic diseases; including aortic arch aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, and a comprehensive evaluation of flow and biomechanical conditions in post-surgery type A aortic dissections by means of state-of-art computational methods.
