495 publications. 865 abstracts. 20 patents. 89 graduate students. 40 post-doctoral fellows. Fellow of 5 major societies. Lissner Award winner and National Academy of Engineering member. These are highly impressive metrics for any academician. However, these metrics only tell part of the story of the influence of Dr. Ajit Yoganathan's Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics (CFM) lab over its 40-year tenure. The true measure of that influence is in how the engineering concepts developed and applied in that lab have been translated to have a clinical impact in patient care. In addition, it is not an overstatement to say that trainees from the CFM lab have defined a generation of cardiovascular researchers in both academics and industry. One of Ajit Yoganathan's great strengths was he always understood that academics could do things that industry could not, but also that industry could bring to patients devices and tools that academics could not deliver.
