简介
Doctor, professor Arminas Ragauskas is a head and founder of Health Telematics Science Institute at Kaunas University of Technology (Kaunas, Lithuania). He specializes in physiological and industrial measurements using ultrasound and semiconductor sensors. According to Google Scholar (2024) he published more than 254 scientific papers, his h-index is 31, i10 index 63 and he is cited 5089 times. He registered more than 120 inventions in Soviet Union until restoration of independence of Lithuania in 1990. His main topics of interest in Soviet Union times were measurements and non-destructive diagnostics in aerospace industries and oceanography. He started to apply his exceptional competences in the field of medicine in 1991.
Currently his research topics of interests are as follows:
1. Brain physics and non-invasive physiological measurements.
2. Non-invasive diagnostics and monitoring systems for the human brain.
3. Brain function impairment prevention systems during heart surgery.
4. Non-invasive systems for glaucoma diagnostic.
5. Innovative methods for industrial measurement of fluid flow.
He invented and patented in the US, EU and other countries non-invasive methods and devices for measurement of intracranial pressure value, monitoring of pressure waves, for normal tension glaucoma diagnosing, etc. He initiated clinical studies and technology development projects funded by European Commission, European Structural Funds, the US Department of the Army and Department of Defense, NASA, Lithuanian and Swiss governments, private international industries. He is co-founder of 4 Lithuanian and 1 American SME.
His 17 Doctoral Students were awarded PhD degrees. 3 PhD Students are currently studying under supervision of prof. A. Ragauskas.
