Biography
Prof. Sen (Qian) has 30 years continuous experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research and application in bioengineering. He has worked in the field of circulatory assist and was instrumental in the development of the artificial heart program in Japan and in Australia. (Left Ventricular Assist Device, LVAD). He primarily developed the CFD technique which was employed for blood pump design. He used computational haemodynamic techniques to improve the problems related to haemolysis of the VentrAssit artificial heart which has been implanted in over 450 patients around world. He also has developed novel methodologies based on the CFD techniques for improvement cardiovascular and cerebrovascular surgical method, and estimation the risk of cerebral aneurysms. The system has been applied for over 300 patients, and validated by the results from in-vitro and in-vivo. He has more than 10 years work experience in global industry and has worked for eight universities in three different countries.

Biography
Dr. Rajendra D. Badgaiyan, MD, completed his MD from Harvard Medical School and had postdoctoral training in neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. He is the Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Richmond University Medical Center, and Professor of Psychiatry at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. His research is funded by NIMH, NINDS, VA, and various foundations. Previously he served in the faculty of Harvard Medical School, SUNY Buffalo and University of Minnesota. He has published over 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Research Interest
Dr Badgaiyan’s research is focused on the study of neural and neurochemical mechanisms that control human brain functions. He developed the single scan dynamic molecular imaging technique (SDMIT) to detect, map, and measure neurotransmitters released acutely in the human brain during task performance. This technique is now used in laboratories all over the world. Using this technique, he studies dopaminergic control of human cognition and behavior. He is also interested in learning the nature of dysregulated dopamine neurotransmission in psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions
