Itsu Sen

Biography

Prof. Sen (Qian) has 30 years continuous experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research and application in bioengineering. He has worked in the field of circulatory assist and was instrumental in the development of the artificial heart program in Japan and in Australia. (Left Ventricular Assist Device, LVAD). He primarily developed the CFD technique which was employed for blood pump design. He used computational haemodynamic techniques to improve the problems related to haemolysis of the VentrAssit artificial heart which has been implanted in over 450 patients around world. He also has developed novel methodologies based on the CFD techniques for improvement cardiovascular and cerebrovascular surgical method, and estimation the risk of cerebral aneurysms. The system has been applied for over 300 patients, and validated by the results from in-vitro and in-vivo. He has more than 10 years work experience in global industry and has worked for eight universities in three different countries. He has published and presented his research in Stroke, American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), and American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR). He has set up global collaborative links with biomedical engineers, neurosurgeons, cardiovascular surgeons and neuroradiologists in Australia, USA, Japan and China. Prof. Qian published over 50 peer reviewed articles and is a referee for many international journals including; Stroke, AJNR, ASME, and International Journal of Artificial Organs etc.
