Dr. Mahmoudi earned his PhD in Bioengineering from Northern Arizona University. His graduate and postdoctoral training bridges mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, biotransport phenomena, and cardiovascular imaging. His research applies engineering principles to cardiovascular disease, combining computational fluid dynamics, biological transport, and image-based modeling to study vascular structure, blood flow, and tissue perfusion. He currently develops patient-specific, MRI-informed models of the coronary microcirculation to improve non-invasive assessment of coronary microvascular dysfunction.
