Giorgia Bosi MSc, PhD

Dr. Giorgia Maria Bosi, MSc, PhD, is a Research Fellow at UCL. After her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biomedical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and a period at St Jude Medical as Field Technical Engineer in the Cardiac Rhythm Management department, Giorgia joined the UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science & Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, UK for her PhD program.

She holds now a postdoctoral research associate position at the Mechanical Engineering department of UCL (London, UK), after obtaining the British Heart Foundation Immediate Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

Her main research project aims at developing engineering models to elucidate the conditions of blood flow and thrombus formation in a region of the heart named “left atrial appendage”, where blood clots typically form when the heart rhythm is disturbed by a condition called atrial fibrillation. In particular, the goal of the project is to understand the relationship between LAA shape, blood flow phenomena, and clot formation by means of computational and experimental techniques.

Her research interests are Biotechnology, Biomechanics, Aortic Diseases, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Imaging, Medical Imaging, and Computational Biology.
