**About the Editor**

**Mauro Malv `e** is currently Associate Professor of Structural Mechanics at the Public University of Navarra located in Pamplona (Spain). He belongs to the Engineering Department of this institution. He moved to Pamplona after his Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Bioengineering Research Networking (CIBER-BBN) of the University of Zaragoza (Spain). He took the degree of Aeronautical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy). After a brief experience in the industry, he did his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, with focus on the computational cardiovascular mechanics, at the University of Karlsruhe (Germany). Nowadays, his research work is focused on the computational fluid dynamics and on the fluid–structure interaction analysis applied to human and veterinary medicine. In particular, he has extensive experience in the numerical simulation of the respiration mechanics and of cardiovascular fluid dynamics. His interests also include the design and simulation of cardiovascular stents and respiratory prosthesis. He is currently a member of the Bioengineering Research Networking (CIBER-BBN) and of the European Society of Biomechanics. He maintains collaborations with several Institutions in Spain and around the world such as the University of Zaragoza (Spain); the University of Saskatchewan (Canada); the Ecole V ´ et´ erinaire Maisons Alfort, ´ where he performed three research stayings in the recent years; and the University of Grenobles-Alpes (France). He has published over 40 scientific publications indexed with the Journal of Citations Report, and has presented his research work in over 60 national and international conferences.
