Carole Leguy

Prof. Carole Leguy is a Professor of Regulatory Affairs in Medical Technology at Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences, where she has served since 2018. She holds dual leadership roles as Vice Dean of Department 4 and Head of the Institute of Measurement and Sensor Technology. Her academic responsibilities include teaching courses in Medical Informatics, Quality Management in Healthcare, and Modeling in Medical Technology.

Her research integrates biomedical engineering with clinical applications, focusing on cardiovascular biomechanics, rehabilitation technology (particularly 'Serious Games' for physiotherapy), and space physiology. She applies computational fluid dynamics and ultrasound-based methodologies to study vascular aging, hemodynamics, and microgravity effects. Her work bridges engineering innovation with clinical diagnostics and space medicine.

Prof. Leguy's publications demonstrate consistent focus on cardiovascular modeling, microgravity physiology, and diagnostic techniques. Recent work emphasizes telerobotic medical systems (2021) and vascular tone regulation (2018), while earlier foundational research established methods for arterial property estimation using inverse modeling and ultrasound.

Scientific Awards:

• Marie Curie Early Stage Research Fellowship
• International Outgoing Fellowship (IOF)

She has led significant international collaborations, including an ESA-funded bed rest study at RWTH Aachen (2017) examining vascular aging in simulated microgravity. Prior affiliations include research positions at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Simon Fraser University, specializing in space physiology.
