Research Fellow at Auckland Bioengineering Institute
Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBehdad Ebrahimi is a research fellow and bioengineering PhD with eight years’ experience applying fluid mechanics and computational modeling to biomedical problems, particularly respiratory and cardiovascular physiology. He progressed from optimizing drag in two-phase pipe flow to biomechanical studies of hemodynamics in dialysis patients, and now develops digital-twin tools for personalised medicine at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. His work bridges theory and clinical application—building patient-specific finite-element and physiological models that aim to support diagnosis and treatment planning for pulmonary hypertension and related conditions. Behdad combines hands-on engineering (HVAC and mechanical systems) with academic teaching in mathematical modeling and scientific software, giving him a pragmatic systems view often missing in pure research. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates complex fluid-structure problems into usable clinical decision tools, quietly blending deep domain expertise with practical implementation.
