Abstract

Biography

Alejandro (Alex) obtained his undergraduate degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona) in 1996. He pursued a PhD in Medicine at the Image Sciences Institute of the University Medical Centre Utrecht on model-based cardiovascular image analysis. Prof Frangi holds the Bicentennial Turing Chair in Computational Medicine at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK, with joint appointments at the Department of Computer Science (School of Engineering) and the Division of Informatics, Imaging and Data Science (School of Health Sciences). He is the Director of the Christabel Pankhurst Institute (www.pankhurst.manchester.ac.uk), a testament to his leadership in health technology research and innovation. He is also the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, with a focus on precision computational medicine for medical devices in silico trials. His contributions to the field have been recognised with a Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering (2023) and the IEEE EMBS Technical Achievement Award (2021) by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
