BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Chatzimavroudis has been an Interim Associate Dean of Operations in the Fenn College of Engineering at Cleveland State University since August 2009. A native of Thessaloniki, Greece, he graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1992 with a Diploma in Chemical Engineering. He was then admitted in the Georgia Institute of Technology for doctoral studies in Chemical Engineering which he completed in 1997. He continued his research for two years as a post-doctoral Fellow in Radiology at the Emory University School of Medicine. His doctoral and post-doctoral research was on the diagnosis of heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart disease with magnetic resonance imaging and Doppler ultrasound. In 1999, he joined the Faculty of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Cleveland State University as an Assistant Professor and the Staff of Radiology and Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic. In 2005, he received tenure and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor. From 2006 until 2009, Dr. Chatzimavroudis was the Director of Applied Biomedical Engineering, a joint doctoral program between the Fenn College of Engineering at Cleveland State University and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic. In addition to his administrative duties, he also is the Director of the Biofluid Mechanics & Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory. His research group has been developing and evaluating new methods and techniques for the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular disease using magnetic resonance imaging and principles of fluid mechanics. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Transport Phenomena, Fluid Mechanics, Biofluid Mechanics, Medical Imaging, Signal Processing, Programming, and Statistics, and he has conducted several scientific seminars/short courses for scientists and researchers of NASA-Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, under support by the Ohio Aerospace Institute. He has more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, and book chapters. He is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the International Society for Magnetic Resonence in Medicine (ISMRM), and he serves as a reviewer in many scientific journals.
