Staff profile

Wisam Hacham is an accomplished researcher and specialist in the field of cardiovascular mechanics and thermo-fluid mechanics, with a particular focus on aneurysm and stenosis modelling and computational simulations. His academic journey is defined by a strong commitment to exploring arterial pulse wave speed and their practical implications, especially in the context of the wave reflection and arterial discontinuity.

Currently, Wisam is conducting advanced analytical investigations at Durham University, where his work centres on the correction of wave speed in the presence of reflected waves. This crucial research aims to refine wave propagation models, contributing to more accurate predictions in systems affected by reflections, which has applications in both medical diagnostics and engineering.

In addition to his theoretical and analytical contributions, Wisam is pioneering research into simulating the effects of Mach number on reflected waves within arterial circulation. This innovative work is key in understanding the interaction of fluid flow dynamics within the human circulatory system, with the potential to improve our comprehension of cardiovascular health, particularly in the context of arterial bifurcation mechanics.

Throughout his academic and professional career, Wisam has demonstrated a keen ability to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application. His interdisciplinary approach combines computational methods, mathematical theory, and biological fluid dynamics, pushing the boundaries of current research in both engineering and medical science.

Wisam continues to collaborate with researchers and professionals across various fields to explore the intersections of arterial wave phenomena, thermo-fluid dynamics, and their applications. His work is poised to make significant contributions to improving medical technologies and advancing engineering solutions in thermo-fluid systems.
