Speakers:
Dr Jens Mueller- School of Engineering and Materials Science
Dipl-Ing (Munich), PhD(Michigan)
Lecturer in Bio-fluids
Dr Mueller’s research covers computational fluid dynamics, in particular the application of CFD techniques to bio-fluid dynamics problems. Among the key interests are strongly coupled fluid-structure problems with severely deforming geometries such as the flow through heart valves. Another area of interest is the development of fast numerical optimisation methods based on the adjoint equations with application in shape optimisation for steady and unsteady flows.

Prof Tim Warner, William Harvey Research Institute
Tim Warner graduated in pharmacology in 1986 from King’s College London. He then moved to the newly established William Harvey Research Institute to pursue his PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Sir John Vane during which time he was awarded the Premier Prix Annuel de Recherche en Phlébologie. In 1989 he completed his PhD and went to pursue his post-doctoral studies with Ferid Murad at Northwestern University and Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, USA. He returned to the William Harvey Research Institute in 1992, being awarded a British Heart Foundation lectureship in 1995. He was promoted Reader in Pharmacology in 1999 and awarded a personal chair in Vascular Inflammation in 2000, at which time he was the recipient of the British Pharmacology Society’s Novartis Prize. He is a Fellow of the British Pharmacological Society as well as being a member of the American Heart Association, American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, International Society for Hypertension Research and the British Society for Cardiovascular Research. Tim Warner has been listed by the Institute for Scientific Information as being among the top 0.5% of cited pharmacologists
