Cambridge Cardiovascular

 

In silico models & digital twins in cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment

Dr Selene Pirola

Dr Selene Pirola holds a MSc Degree in Biomedical Engineering obtained from Politecnico of Milano (Italy). Here, she worked on 4D flow image analysis for aortic haemodynamic assessment in bicuspid aortic valve. She then pursued a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London (UK), where she developed image-based patient-specific models to study aortic blood flow in aortic valve and aorta disease. During her Post-Doc she further refined these models and applied them to investigate aortic haemodynamics in aneurysm disease and following surgical intervention (e.g., aortic valve surgery, left ventricular assist device implant). In 2021, she received a BHF CoRE fellowship in support of her work on cardiovascular disease modelling at the MRC London Institute of Clinical Sciences. Since September 2022, Dr Pirola is an Assistant Professor & Delft Technology Fellow in the BioMechanical Engineering Department where her research Lab focuses on biomechanics modelling to study neurovascular and aortic disease.
