Monica Emendi

Monica Emendi is a Research Fellow at the Department of FLOW MECHANICS, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on biomedical engineering, fluid mechanics, and medical imaging with applications in cardiovascular systems and surgical planning. She specializes in computational methods like finite element analysis (FEA), fluid-structure interaction (FSI), and reduced order modeling (ROM) for medical device design and clinical applications.

Her work integrates experimental and numerical approaches, including in vitro studies and hybrid imaging systems like PET/MR. Recent studies include optimizing endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedures using FEM-EM tracking and developing patient-specific models of bicuspid aortic valves to understand biomechanical behaviors.

Key research trends involve advancing surgical navigation systems through ROMs and enhancing image-guided interventions. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. Her current role involves collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and contributes to both academic publications and potential clinical translations.
