Lennart van de Velde

Lennart van de Velde is a Researcher affiliated with the Academic Medical Center (AMC) Amsterdam and Rijnstate Hospital, with a primary appointment in the Physics of Fluids Group. He holds an MSc and BMus degree and completed his PhD in 2024 at the University of Twente. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, hemodynamics, and vascular surgery, particularly in the context of endovascular interventions and computational modeling. Key topics include stent design, blood flow analysis using advanced imaging techniques (e.g., particle image velocimetry), and pressure gradient modeling in arterial diseases.

His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being (Goal 3). Collaborative projects span institutions in multiple countries, emphasizing translational research between engineering and clinical medicine. Notable contributions include systematic reviews on intravascular imaging and validation studies of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in renal and peripheral arterial diseases.

• Education: PhD in Biomedical Engineering (2024, University of Twente), MSc & BMus (degrees unspecified).

Van de Velde’s research integrates experimental and computational methods to address challenges in vascular surgery and interventional radiology. His studies on stent-induced swirling flows, thrombosis mechanisms, and renal artery hemodynamics have advanced understanding of device optimization and clinical outcomes. He has co-authored over 29 peer-reviewed publications, with a focus on peripheral artery disease and endovascular repair technologies.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though his h-index of 17 and 172 citations reflect significant scholarly impact. His work bridges engineering and medicine, with potential applications in improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy for vascular conditions.
