Dr Andreas Fouras started his career in academic research studying experimental fluid dynamics in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne. His early research in wind tunnel quantification placed him as a young leader in the area of imaging (within fluid dynamics) developing a number of new approaches to the imaging of gas and liquid flow. His research has been documented in over 100 peer reviewed publications, and over 40 patents and patent applications.
Dr Fouras was a Professor and director of the Laboratory for Dynamic Imaging. He founded 4DMedical in December 2012 and is its chief executive, managing director and chief technology officer.
Dr Fouras received awards from a range of research bodies including the National Health and Medical Research Council, the American Asthma Foundation, and the 2013 Australian Davos Connection Australian Leadership Award.
