Leonid Goubergrits

Leonid Goubergrits is a Professor of Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation at the Einstein Center Digital Future and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. With a background in applied mathematics and physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, he has dedicated his career to applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to cardiovascular medicine since immigrating to Germany in 1995. His work bridges fundamental research and clinical applications, aiming to integrate numerical models into everyday medical practice to enhance diagnostics and reduce invasiveness.

• Doctorate at Technische Universität Berlin (2000)
• Habilitation at Technische Universität Berlin (2016)

His research spans blood flow modeling in coronary vessels, cerebral aneurysms, heart valves, and the aorta, alongside artificial organ development and blood damage modeling. He leads a research group at Charité and the German Heart Center Berlin, focusing on patient-specific simulations and their translation to clinical settings.

Recent publications highlight his work on deep learning integration for hemodynamic analysis, 4D Flow MRI validation, and medical device optimization using computational models. His team’s research includes virtual therapy planning for aortic valve replacements, hemolysis modeling, and pulmonary artery pressure sensors.

Leonid actively contributes to education, redesigning TU Berlin’s Fluid Mechanics in Medicine curriculum and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, physicians, and computer scientists. His vision emphasizes the digital transformation of medicine through computational modeling and simulation.
