Emmanouil Agrafiotis

Emmanouil Agrafiotis is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Biomechanics of Graz University of Technology. He specializes in cardiovascular biomechanics, biomaterials, and medical device testing with a focus on mock circulatory systems and tissue engineering applications.

• B.Sc. in Materials Science and Technology (University of Crete, Greece)
• M.Sc. in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (University of Applied Sciences Vienna, Austria)

His research explores medical device evaluation, vascular mechanics, and biomaterial-tissue interactions, particularly in left ventricular assist devices and aortic stenting. Recent publications analyze stent-induced vascular damage and pressure waveform matching methodologies.

Notable awards include recognition from Austrian universities for his Cardiac Simulation Device (2019) and competitive awards at ASAIO conferences (2017) and Vienna’s Tissue Engineering program (2016). He has contributed to fundamental studies on fibrin-fibroin hydrogels for ligamentous tissue engineering.
