Dr. Ghista has an international standing in academia, having set up programs and departments at universities in responsible academic-administrative positions (from Department Head to CAO/Provost), and has even been involved in planning universities. Dr. Ghista has taught courses in Engineering, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, medical sciences, sports science, and hospital management. His research involvements and publications include Biomedical Engineering, Medicine, Cognitive Science and therapy, sports science, sustainable communities, and the role of university in society. Dr. Ghista is the author/editor of Biomedical Engineering Modeling for Medical Assessment, Volumes 1-3, Springer; Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Design Simulations, Lambert Academic Publishing; Cardiac Perfusion and Pumping Engineering, World Scientific Publishing; Applied Biomedical Engineering Mechanics, CRC Press; and Orthopaedic Mechanics Procedures and Devices, Academic Press; among many others.Anacleto V. Mernone is a Researcher at the University of Adelaide and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital with a remarkable background in technical writing, primarily focused on the engineering and scientific domains, and boasting extensive experience within the defense and medical industries. With a diverse skill set encompassing modeling, simulation, analysis, systems engineering, software engineering, and design. He was research associate to Dr. Jagannath Mazumdar at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, University of Adelaide.
Dr. Kayalvizhi Mohan is an experienced Head of Department with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. Skilled in Cognitive Science, Biomedical Engineering, Cognitive Neuroscience, Matlab, and Research, he is a strong education professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from Madras Institute of Technology campus Anna University.
Dr. Jagannath Mazumdar (deceased) was Emeritus Director of the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, University of Adelaide. After receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees in applied mathematics from Patna University, India, he proceeded to Moscow State University to complete his Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics. He was also conferred an honorary Ph.D. degree by the University of Adelaide, Australia. Dr. Mazumdar has done some interesting research for the non-invasive study of heart valves tissue pathology by spectral analysis of heart sounds as well as by two-dimensional sector-scan echocardiography. This study gave us precise indication of the normality or abnormality of the stiffness property and hence, of the pathology of the valve leaflet material. He has also done some interesting study of vibrations of tympanic membrane (ear drum) by time-averaged holography which has been published in the Journal of Otolaryngological Society of Australia. Dr. Mazumdar worked in the field of Tissue Engineering and NanoBioscience. In acknowledgement of his contributions, Dr. Mazumdar was elected a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering, Australia. He was a Fellow of Australian Mathematical Society and a Fellow of Australian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine.
