Curriculum Vitae
Christina Kolyva was born on August 2nd 1976, in Kingston upon Thames, Great Britain. After finishing High School at Gythion, Greece, she studied Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. She received her degree in 2000, after which she worked as a junior Research Assistant at the same Institute. Under the supervision of Prof. Socrates Tsangaris, she studied the flow fields generated around artificial heart valves, implementing the P.I.V. method. In 2002 she obtained her MSc degree in Engineering and Physical Science in Medicine from Imperial College London, Great Britain. Her thesis explored the effect of convective velocity on wave transmission and reflection in elastic tubes and was supervised by Prof. Kim H. Parker. She started working as a Ph.D. student at the Department of Medical Physics of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2003, under the supervision of Dr. ir. Maria Siebes, Prof. dr. ir. Jos A.E. Spaan and Prof. dr. Jan J. Piek. The present manuscript is the result of the research conducted during the four years of her Ph.D. study. Since 2007 she is working as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Brunel Institute of Bioengineering, West London, Great Britain, with Dr. Ashraf W. Khir, investigating the effect of balloon shape and timing on Intra–aortic balloon counterpulsation.
