• For first time demonstrated how large-scale flow features in aortic arch can influence shear stress patterns (and thus potentially arterial disease patterns) at entrances to downstream aortic branches.
• Featured on journal front cover.
• Featured on front page of Imperial College website.
• Won multiple British Heart Foundation (BHF) ‘Reflections of Research Awards’ (http://www.bhf.org.uk/research/our-science-image-competition.aspx).
• Featured on BHF website (http://www.bhf.org.uk/research/our-science-image-competition.aspx).
• Led to collaborations with Stanford University, Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, and Kings College London.
• Formed basis for large cross-disciplinary Aeronautics/Bioengineering research programme at Imperial College (including award of a £1.3M BHF Programme Grant).
