Jijo Derick Abraham is a Postdoctoral Researcher within the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering at the University of Queensland. He completed a joint PhD in Computational Cardiac Mechanics from the University of Queensland and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi in 2026. His PhD thesis provided theoretical insights into the underlying mechanics of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) using finite element (FE) modelling of the heart. Prior to the PhD studies, Jijo was a Junior Research Fellow at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, where he worked on the development of finite-volume method (FVM)- based Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) solvers for modelling cerebral aneurysm conditions.
He holds a Master of Technology in Heat Power Engineering from the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, where he was awarded the Institute Medal and the Academic Excellence Award for achieving the highest cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in the program in 2019. He completed his Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in 2016, securing the fifth rank in the university.
