| Brief Bio: | ||
| George Chatzimavroudis is Associate Dean in the Washkewicz College of Engineering of Cleveland State University. He received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1992 and his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1997. During his doctoral studies, he developed non-invasive imaging techniques to diagnose heart valve disease. From 1997 until 1999, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Emory University School of Medicine, where he expanded his research in a variety of cardiovascular imaging projects in clinical areas such as congenital heart disease and coronary artery disease. In 1999, he joined the department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering of Cleveland State University. He is the Director of the Biofluid Mechanics and Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory and his research activities and interests have been in the areas of cardiovascular imaging and biofluid mechanics. He has developed and taught several undergraduate and graduate courses and has given numerous invited lectures nationally and internationally. He also conducted several short courses for scientists and researchers of NASA-Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, under support by the Ohio Aerospace Institute. From 2006 until 2009, he was the Director of Applied Biomedical Engineering, a joint doctoral program between Cleveland State University and the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Chatzimavroudis has more than 90 peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, and book chapters, and he has served as a reviewer in many scientific journals and in federal proposal panels. Since 2009, he has been Associate Dean in the Washkewicz College of Engineering and he has been in charge of a variety of educational and operational areas of the college, including undergraduate affairs, experiential learning, faculty affairs, ABET accreditation, fund-raising and marketing, research administration, financial operations, and facilities, and he has been involved in all diversity, inclusion, and equity initiatives of the college. | ||
| Research Interests: | ||
| Professor Chatzimavrousis' research activities and interests are in Cardiovascular Imaging and Biofluid Mechanics. He is particularly interested in the following research fields:
- Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging - Treatment of acquired and congenital heart disease - Image-based computational model reconstruction - Diagnosis of heart valve disease - Cardiovascular fluid mechanics His work has the following components: 1. Experimental (in the laboratory and in the clinical field): This part involves the design and construction of experimental models of various parts of the cardiovascular system, which mimic the anatomy and function of the heart and blood vessels under normal and abnormal conditions. Experiments are subsequently performed under physiologic conditions. Their role is two-fold: (a) to collect and analyze functional data in order to better understand the differences between normal and abnormal cardiovascular function; and (b) to develop and evaluate the feasibility of new imaging techniques/protocols with clinical potential in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease 2. Computational (in the laboratory): Subject-specific computational studies can provide important diagnostic and treatment information, unique for each patient. Research involves the design and construction of computational models of the cardiovascular system, which simulate anatomy and function under normal and abnormal conditions. Emphasis is placed on constructing computational models directly from acquired images of the experimental models and human subjects. 3. Clinical: In this part, evaluation and optimization of the developed imaging protocols in human subjects are performed. This stage is the most significant research component, since - by using the experimental and computational findings as a guide - it determines whether an original idea is actually clinically applicable. | ||
