Author of about 250 research papers and several books, he is a member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. He is currently scientific research manager at FIAB SpA, a company manufacturing medical devices, based near Florence, Italy.Adelia Sequeira is a Professor of applied mathematics and numerical analysis, at the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. She specializes in applications to biomedicine, in particular in cardiovascular modeling and simulations. She is co-author of 200 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and conference proceedings, and editor of several books.

“This book focuses on one of the most intriguing branches of medicine: hematology. Blood is complicated as a fluid and many rheological models have been proposed for its study.  The book is mainly intended for mathematicians, specialists in fluid dynamics interested in medical applications but it is also useful for clinicians for new improving treatments. … This book is a very valuable addition to mathematics, medical, biology, and bioengeneering libraries.” (Titus Petrila, zbMATH 1385.92001, 2018)
