PhD in Bioengineering, Professore di Biomeccanica
Cardiovascular Biomechanics.
Alberto is Professor in Biomechanics since 2014 in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering where he currently coordinates the Research Group on Biomechanics. Over his academic life, he has mainly focused on the development of new enabling tools, with the aim of finding new solutions to biological and clinical problems. His research is mainly in the field of cardiovascular biomechanics and computational fluid dynamics, both experimental and computational, and embrace pioneering studies on fluid structure interaction approaches, design of innovative cardiovascular devices and prostheses, and valve mechanics studies with emphasis on patient specific modeling from imaging data. In recent years, his research interests have been extended to smaller scales to include molecular modeling of molecular motors and collagen, and microfluidics for the study of blood damage mechanics and myocardial tissue physiopathology. All these activities rebounded into an intense publishing activity with more than 170 papers published on peer-reviewed journals (H-index 38, 4500 citations), 14 patents, most translated to products, and an intense research project coordination activity (7 European project as local or global coordinator and manifold national grants).
Alberto Redaelli is the project coordinator and manages the relations with Cariplo Foundation and Lumbardy Region for the successful fulfillment of the project objectives. He chairs the consortium activities and the dissemination and outreaching initiatives. He also participates to Politecnico Unit tasks thanks to his research experience in computational simulations and platelet activation studies.
