Lee Nissim

Lee Nissim is a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, affiliated with the Centre for Bioengineering & Biomedical Technologies (CBio). He holds a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London (2021), an MRes in Fluid Dynamics (2016), and a Master of Engineering from the University of Cambridge (2015). His research focuses on biomedical engineering, particularly in hemocompatibility, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and magnetic levitation systems for medical devices like ventricular assist devices (NeoVAD). He also explores tribology in prosthetic joints and pediatric cardiovascular support systems.

Key projects include the KTP collaboration with Modini Limited, advancing NeoVAD design through CFD and machine learning. His work integrates CFD simulations, experimental validation, and machine learning to optimize biomedical device performance. Recent articles highlight innovations in blood-contacting bearing design, energy-efficient rotary pumps, and pediatric LVAD prototypes.

His contributions span over 15 peer-reviewed publications, emphasizing design optimization, hemodynamic analysis, and wear-resistant prosthetics. Nissim is actively supervising doctoral students and advancing interdisciplinary solutions in bioengineering and mechanical systems.
