Biography
Javid Mahmoudzadeh Akherat received his Master's degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering from IIT and is currently a PhD candidate at the MMAE department. His research focus is on blood flow simulation of the end stage renal disease patients using computational fluid dynamics and mathematical optimization. He is developing a predictive framework to improve the patency of vascular accesses for dialysis patients, which is expected to become a medical protocol for dialysis treatment. He is also a student leader, speaker and the current president and former vice president of the MMAE department's graduate student advisory council.
TEDx Idea
An engineer uses state-of-the-art computational tools to save millions of lives of dialysis patients worldwide. S. M. Javid Mahmoudzadeh Akherat and a team of researchers developed a predictive framework to improve the patency of vascular accesses for dialysis patients. The team's knowledge of fluid dynamics and medicine provided the insight to discover the solution. Their innovative interdisciplinary approach resulted in a revolutionary customized medical treatment plan.
