Statement Of Purpose

Decent Essays

I am writing this letter to apply for a position as Lecturer of Mechanical Engineering Science at the University of Surrey. My educational background in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and comprehensive research experience in Biomedical Engineering inspired me to apply for this position. I consider that my excellence in teaching and research fulfil the requirements of this post.

I was awarded my PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering by the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA. My thesis was entitled “Computational Modelling of Neurovascular Hemodynamics and Endovascular Stents to Treat Intracranial Aneurysms”. Looking for a new challenge after the doctorate degree, I moved to Europe and participated multiple …show more content…

Research Interests
My research in Biomedical Engineering to date has focused on the medical image based Bio-Fluid Dynamics and medical device modelling. This includes Neurovascular Haemodynamics, Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Dynamics and Respiratory Aerodynamics studies.

Clinical diagnosis support system
I am particularly interested in using computational models to improve the diagnostic assessment of disease progression and to support the clinical decision making. For an instance, medical imaging is recognised as an important tool to estimate the flow properties in the fight against circulatory system diseases. However, rapidly changing flow properties in the medical images could be overlooked, even by highly experienced clinicians. Computational modelling and machine learning algorithm as a part of implanted software in the medical imaging devices can help to reveal those flow characteristics and provide relevant information to the clinicians.

Endovascular device/drug delivery system modelling
My research interests also lie in medical device modelling. Endovascular therapy is known as a minimally invasive therapeutic option to recover the original flow circulations in diseased arteries. Computational modelling techniques can accurately assess the effect of endovascular intervention devices. I have modelled neurovascular stents and coils to treat intracranial aneurysms to demonstrated their
