Dr. Y has been chosen as the inaugural recipient of the AATS Honorary Fellowship Award –
“For more than 40 years, Professor Yoganathan has been a pioneer in basic and translational cardiovascular research, applying computational fluid mechanics to the development and analysis of prosthetic heart valves, heart function, and complex congenital heart defects. Indeed, it is safe to say that all prosthetic heart valves in use in United States since 1975 have been evaluated in Dr Yoganathan’s Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics laboratory. He has worked with the Food and Drug Administration and European Union developing standards and has worked with every manufacturer that has a replacement heart valve, from large multinational corporations to small startups. Dr Yoganathan, through his collegiality and knowledgeable instruction, has helped us understand disease processes and prosthetic devices in a way that goes beyond physiology and pathology but also incorporates fundamental engineering principles”
