معرفی
Rafik Borji serves as Lecturer of Subsea Controls and Systems Engineering within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Houston's College of Engineering. He functions as the Subsea Engineering Academic Advisor, with his office located in Engineering Building 2, Room W228 on the Houston campus. His academic contact email is subsea-advisor@me.uh.edu.
His research spans Subsea Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, focusing on model-based approaches for transient two-phase flow in pipelines and tissue characterization using optical coherence tomography/ultrasound techniques. Key areas include cardiovascular diagnostics (arterial plaque analysis, VAD prognostics) and subsea flow assurance, demonstrating interdisciplinary integration of mechanical systems modeling with biomedical applications.
Publications from 2009-2016 reveal dual research trajectories: subsea systems work emphasizes low-dimensional modeling for pipeline flow dynamics, while biomedical research develops quantitative methods for tissue property assessment and cardiovascular device monitoring. Both domains utilize advanced modeling techniques for system diagnostics and prognostics.
No scientific awards or honors are documented in the available information.
