Dr. Aristotle G. Koutsiaris studied Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and Biomedical Engineering at Dundee University (UK). He then joined the research group of Professor Sokrates Tsangaris at the Biofluid Mechanics Laboratory of NTUA (Athens) and received his Ph.D. degree in 2000. His doctoral & postdoctoral work was on the application of optical imaging techniques on microvessels in-vitro and in-vivo, and since then he has worked and taught at several academic institutions, and published on biofluid dynamics, hemodynamics, microcirculation, biomedical imaging, and bio-microscopy, both in-vitro and in-vivo (in animals and humans) with a good international scientific impact. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Thessaly. Title of Talk : Non-Invasive Optical Imaging and Human Microvascular Pathophysiology
