Professor Steve Greenwald
Queen Mary University of London

Bio: Following a BA in Natural Science at Hertford College Oxford and a PhD in Medicine (Pathology) from Guy's Hospital Medical School, Steve Greenwald obtained a British Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship working on arterial elasticity in children. This was followed by a position as research assistant in the Pathology Department of The London Hospital Medical College, later part of Queen Mary University of London. He obtained a personal chair in Cardiovascular Mechanics in 2001 and was elected Vice President of the International Society of Pathophysiology in 2006, subsequently having held visiting professorships in Thailand and China. His research interests include arterial structure, mechanical properties and wave propagation and their role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. On the applied side, real time measurement of physiological signals and the clinical evaluation of these measurement systems. As part of the CARDIS consortium, funded by an EU Horizon 2020 grant, work has focussed on assessing the sensitivity and accuracy of laser Doppler vibrometry for the non-contact measurement of arterial stiffness and the detection of carotid artery stenosis. Earlier work on shear wave propagation in chest phantoms has led to the development of stick-on patch to detect coronary artery disease from its “acoustic signature”. This work is a collaboration with electronic engineers at Imperial College, mathematicians at Brunel University and clinicians at The Barts Heart Centre in London. A prototype patch is undergoing in-vitro testing, and a clinical validation study is planned for 2025.
