Who is Gianni Pedrizzetti?

Gianni Pedrizzetti is an Italian engineer who is a professor in fluid mechanics at the University of Trieste. His research is the application of fluid mechanics to improve cardiovascular sciences. He introduced optical flow techniques for the benefit of obtaining dynamic information from medical images, with the goal of improving heart diseases diagnostics. Pedrizzetti has published over 60 articles on peer-reviewed international journals, and is co-inventor of several patented solutions in the field of medical imaging and medical data processing. He is an author of a monograph which relates basic theoretical principles in bioengineering and fluid mechanics to the cardiovascular problems and medical solutions. He represents a purely interdisciplinary scientists bridging theoretical, experimental and numerical analysis to actual applications in clinical cardiology.
