Tiziano PasseriniDr. Tiziano Passerini obtained his M.Sc degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy in 2005, and his Ph.D. in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy in 2009. Biomedical engineering, mathematical engineering,and high performance scientific computing as applied to the computational modeling of human physiology and pathology are the key components of Dr. Passerini's expertise. During his doctoral studies in Milan and post-doctoral appointment at Emory University he worked on several projects focusing on the image-based, high performance computational modeling of the cardiovascular system, including the assessment of the stability and rupture risk of brain aneurysms and aortic abdominal aneurysms. In 2013 Dr. Passerini was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship by the American Heart Association, for independent exploratory research. After joining Siemens Healthcare, Dr. Passerini expanded his areas of interest to the high performance computational modeling of heart electrophysiology and heart electromechanics, including the use of artificial intelligence for the estimation of physical properties of healthy and diseased tissues, and the efficient computation of heart biomechanics., in the context of multiple clinical applications.
