Bio/Research
Tofy Mussivand is Chair and Director of the Cardiovascular Devices Program at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. He is also Chair of the Medical Devices Program, Professor of Surgery in the Faculty of Medicine, and Professor of Engineering in the School of Information Technology and Engineering at the University of Ottawa.
He has been actively involved in the medical devices field for over 25 years in Canada and internationally.
Mussivand received his undergraduate education and training in engineering and management. Following many successful years in senior positions in government, crown corporations and the private sector, he received his doctorate in Medical Engineering and Medical Sciences at the University of Akron and Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. Thereafter, he joined the internationally acclaimed Cleveland Clinic Hospital and Research Foundation, where he gained invaluable knowledge and experience in the development of medical devices, artificial hearts and cardiac care. In 1989, he was invited to return to Canada to continue his pioneering work in the field of medical devices.
Mussivand has achieved national and global recognition. His breakthroughs have resulted in prominently situating Canada in the fields of medical devices, artificial hearts, remote power transfer and in situ sterilization. He has 15 patents to his name and another eight pending.
Combining his scientific, management and business expertise, Mussivand has chaired and served as a member on several boards, and he has been a CEO of several successful corporations. His leadership has been responsible for creating over 1,000 man years in the Canadian workforce and has been the catalyst for an influx of more than $200 million, primarily from outside Canada, during the past 10 years.
Mussivand is a Fellow of the International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences and a Member of the European Academy of Sciences. In 2001, he won the NSERC University-Industry Synergy Award. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (the highest scholarly honour in Canada) and has served the last three Canadian prime ministers as a member of the Prime Minister's Advisory Council on Science and Technology (PMACST).
Mussivand has published over 250 papers, books and technical articles, and he has supervised and taught over 300 students, residents and post-doctoral fellows.
