Gianni Pedrizzetti

is professor of Bioengineering at the University of Trieste, Italy. His research activity started in the early 90s in theoretical fluid dynamics and turbulence, later on it progressed into cardiac fluid dynamics where I published pioneer original contributions and invited reviews. He also had a central role in the development of medical imaging for the analysis of cardiac mechanical function. An expert in cardiac fluid mechanics and cardiac mechanics, he is a leading scientist in both the engineering and the clinical cardiology communities.
