Trevor Tucker

Biography:

Dr Tucker’s research focuses on the application of the physics of fluid dynamics to blood flow and cardiovascular diseases. He has published on the role of blood flow in Cognitive Impairment, in Multiple Sclerosis, and in atherosclerotic development. His work includes generalizing the classic Murray Scaling Law to include arterial stiffness and to be applicable to microcirculation. The work reported in this presentation enables the quick and easy measurement of arterial stiffness in a clinical setting, a long sought goal in arterial stiffness research.
