Dr. Ahmet Tas, MD (Gomec State Hospital, Turkey) is a member of the coronary physiology working group led by Professor Murat Sezer at Istanbul University, where he received his medical degree. He is pursuing a PhD in coronary haemodynamics at Amsterdam UMC, supervised by Professor Jan J. Piek. Dr. Tas focuses on applying contemporary fluid dynamics concepts such as wave intensity and reservoir analysis in cardiovascular medicine to improve the pathophysiology and diagnosis of macro- and microvascular coronary artery diseases, for which he works under the guidance of Professor Kim H. Parker, a leading bioengineer in this field. He speaks Turkish, German and English and also enjoys training in combat sports.
