Portrait of Valentin Romanov

Valentin Romanov

Postdoctoral researcher (previous member) · Imperial College London · until 2026

Dr Valentin Romanov received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Utah, USA. His main research interest is in automating and building frameworks around Large Language Models for applications in computational modeling. His doctoral work focused on developing microfluidic platforms for creating size-tunable vesicles, along with fluid and thermal-multiphysics simulations. Following his PhD, his research at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Sydney, initially focused on mechanobiology, cell biophysics, and modelling. During this postdoctoral work, he refocused his research towards Large Language Models for data science and modeling applications.

He joined Imperial College London as a Research Associate in 2025. His current research focuses on developing LLM-based approaches to automate parameter extraction from scientific literature for informing the creation of computational models in cardiac digital twins.

He left CEMRG in September 2026 to start his own company, Stealth.
