About Eva Romito

Some of the best solutions start with a question no one thought to ask yet.I\'m a biomedical engineer and scientist who builds things; teams, models, evidence frameworks, and occasionally prototypes on a kitchen table. My work lives at the intersection of deep cardiovascular science and the practical reality of getting devices to patients, from founding an evidence generation and biosimulations group at Edwards to launching structural heart devices in clinical settings across Europe.I\'m most energized by the hard, creative problem — where first principles matter more than the playbook.

Experience

1. Director, Evidence Generation & Cardiac Biosimulations Team, Tmtt

   Edwards Lifesciences

   Mar 2022 — Present · Irvine, CA, US

   Founder & leader of the Evidence Generation & Cardiac Biosimulations Group from 0 to 8 engineers and scientists pioneering in vivo, in vitro, and in silico modeling for transcatheter device testing. • Developed innovative pre-clinical efficacy models that significantly improved device testing accuracy. • Recruited and managed a multidisciplinary team of experts in materials science and biomechanics, enhancing project outcomes. • Achieved first-of-its-kind cross-product portfolio impact, driving design insights and evidence generation for cardiovascular devices.• KOL management and research partnership development for advancing clinical practice• Primary contributor to non-clinical evidence generation for congress presentations & submissions.
