Dr. Ahmad Zahran Bin Md Khudzari
Niche Area : Biofluid Dynamics, Cardiovascular Engineering
Dr. Ahmad Zahran bin Md Khudzari is a staff at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia since 2007. He started his tertiary education at the Hokkaido University, Japan in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and graduated from there in 2001, after which he worked as an engineer for a few years before continuing at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia for his Master of Science degree. He then applied for a lecturer post at UTM KL in 2007, before continuing his PhD at the Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom and graduated in 2012. He came back to UTM KL and shortly after transferred to the Faculty of Bioscience and Medical Engineering at Skudai campus in 2013. He became Deputy Director at the IJN – UTM Cardiovascular Engineering Centre since 2013 before became the Cardio Centre Director since 2017 until 2021. At present he is the Chair at the School of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences. His research interest is on cardiovascular engineering especially on the blood flow within the human cardiovascular system, as well as on few medical devices such as stent, left ventricular assist device, and cannula used in the heart lung machine (HLM). He also dabbles in biomechanics research especially on exoskeleton for human helper.
