Binghuan Li
I am a Research Postgraduate (Ph.D.) and a Chemical Engineering Scholar @ Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. I obtained my MEng (First Class Hons.) in Biomedical Engineering @ Department of Bioengineering (2019-23), with two years of research experience @ Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Ultrasound Laboratory (2021-23). The title of my MEng thesis is Surrogate Modelling of Fluid Dynamics within Various Vascular Geometries with Physics-Informed Neural Networks (June, 2023), supervised by Dr. Choon Hwai Yap.

Research Interests
My research features cardiovascular bio-fluid/solid mechanics, with the particular interests lie within the complexities of biomechanical behaviours associated with the aortic-related pathologies (e.g. aortic dissection) and advanced piliation strategies (e.g. TEVAR). With the assistance from artificial intelligence, the robustness and effectiveness of cardiovascular biomechanics computation via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) will be fully brought out and better bridge the clinical practices and engineering.
My past research highlighted the patient-specific modelling of flow dynamics within the malformed foetal left ventricular structures through the deployment of a motion-tracking algorithm and CFD. I also explored the expressivity of physics-informed machine learning in fluid computation within the idealised parametric geometries.
