Quan Long

Dr. Quan Long is a Senior Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics at Brunel University's College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. His work bridges biomedical engineering and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), focusing on arterial hemodynamics, plaque mechanics, and tumor microvasculature modeling.

• Research Themes: Wall shear stress analysis, stress distribution in carotid plaques, angiogenesis modeling, and MRI-based CFD simulations
• Technical Expertise: Lattice Boltzmann methods, fluid-structure interaction, patient-specific geometric modeling, and interstitial fluid pressure analysis

While his publications (2001-2011) primarily focus on carotid artery disease and tumor perfusion, recent works emphasize vascular normalization windows and anti-angiogenic therapy effects. His collaborations include researchers from Imperial College London, Edinburgh University, and City University. Key methodologies involve MRI data integration, computational modeling of physiological flows, and stress-induced plaque rupture analysis.

Key Publications demonstrate trends in:

• Arterial Wall Stress (2007-2011)
• Tumor Microvasculature Modeling (2008-2011)
• Comparative MRI/CFD Techniques (2003-2009)
• Endothelial Surface Layer Analysis (2006-2007)
