Cardiovascular flow disturbances study aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment

nts affect arterial flow dynamics," Vlachos said. "Identifying the flow-related causes of implant failure could lead to design improvements for stents."

Each CAREER project includes an educational component. Vlachos plans to develop educational models based on engineering "icons" -- tangible, everyday examples of engineering practice -- for use in demonstrating fundamental engineering principles to students from middle school through college.

Vlachos joined the Virginia Tech mechanical engineering faculty in 2003 after spending three years as a visiting assistant professor and research assistant professor of engineering science and mechanics at the university. He also is on the faculty of the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences.

Vlachos received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the National University of Athens, Greece and completed his master's and doctorate in engineering mechanics at Virginia Tech.
