Heart Project
Research Interests : Cardiovascular fluid mechanics; Particle image velocimetry (PIV); Optical methods for flow analysis.
Conducts both fundamental and applied studies in the fields of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer. The main research topics are directed towards experimental studies of turbulence and cardiovascular flows, developing and applying optical techniques for visualization and measurement of flow dynamics, such as Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in its standard, stereoscopic and high-frequency versions, besides other relevant quantities, such as pressure, temperature and heat flux.
