Career

Andrew’s major research achievements so far include: resolving an apparent paradox between vortical structures and laminar flow mixing and using the insights to design improved vascular prostheses; creating the first poroelastic model of contrast enhanced magnetic resonance perfusion imaging in the beating heart; helped to create a flexible, multi-physics finite element library, CHeart.

Education

Following an MEng degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Cambridge, Andrew briefly worked as a naval architect for QinetiQ. He returned to academia for a PhD in Biofluid Mechanics at Imperial College London, where he investigated the flow and mixing properties of helical pipes for medical applications. This was followed by post-doctoral research with Prof. Nic Smith, at both the University of Oxford and King’s College London, where he developed computational models of cardiac perfusion and magnetic resonance perfusion imaging, and was a founding member of the development team for the multi-physics finite element software, CHeart. He joined the University of Bath as a Lecturer in January 2016.
