Rashid Alavi, PhD currently holds the position of James Boswell postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI). He completed his doctoral studies in Mechanical/Cardiovascular Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC) in August 2023, focusing on the development of "hybrid physics-based data driven approaches for noninvasive hemodynamic diagnosis of myocardial infarction and heart failure." Dr. Alavi earned his BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in Iran. Rashid has been an active part of numerous clinical and preclinical studies conducted at USC Keck Hospital and HMRI, contributing to advancements in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and heart failure.
During his doctoral studies, Dr. Alavi earned multiple recognitions. He was among the top five finalists nominated for the highly coveted 2023 Young Investigator Award of the American College of Cardiology (ACC). Dr. Alavi is also the recipient of the 2023 Student Recognition Award of Phi Kappa Phi (PKP) National Honor Society, presented at the 42nd annual academic honours convocation of USC, where he was recognized for his collection of work on technological advances preventing heart diseases.
