Dr Jordi Alastruey graduated with an MSc in Civil Engineering (Structures, First Class) from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and earned a PhD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London. His PhD thesis focused on the development, validation and application of a nonlinear one-dimensional model of pulse wave propagation in the arterial network. He then conducted postdoctoral research on computational blood flow modelling at the Departments of Aeronautics and Bioengineering at Imperial. In 2009, he was awarded a British Heart Foundation research fellowship, which he began at Imperial before moving to King's in 2011.

Dr Alastruey leads the Haemodynamic Modelling research Group. Specialising in cardiovascular haemodynamics, the group focuses on developing models for simulating pulse wave signals under physiological and pathophysiological conditions, methods for calibrating these models and understanding underlying physical mechanisms, and signal processing techniques to aid clinical decision-making.
