Christos Manopoulos

Christos Manopoulos is an Associate Professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), School of Mechanical Engineering, Section of Fluids. His research focuses on biofluid mechanics and biomedical engineering, particularly in valveless pumping, peristaltic pumps, and computational modeling of cardiovascular systems.

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering (2009), NTUA and University of Patras
• M.Sc.E. in Biomedical Engineering (1999), NTUA and University of Patras
• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (1995), University of Patras

His work bridges theoretical, computational, and experimental methods to analyze unsteady oscillating flows, develop biomedical devices, and model arterial wall mechanics. Recent research trends emphasize patient-specific simulations for aortic aneurysms, optimization of medical pumps, and understanding pulse wave velocity in pathological conditions. His publications highlight advancements in computational fluid dynamics and biomedical device design.

• Scientific Committee, 10th & 11th IC-SCCE (2022, 2024)
• Patent #1009983 (2021) for mechanical ventilator bifurcator
• Multiple awards from Thomaideio foundation (2005-2010)
• Scholarships from Loulis (1999-2009) and Tzetzou (1999-2001) foundations

Manopoulos leads the Biofluid Mechanics & Biomedical Technology Laboratory (2022-present) and contributes to health and safety protocols at NTUA. He teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in biofluid mechanics, computational modeling, and biomedical engineering.
