Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab

Our research group focuses on studying the mechanisms behind initiation and progression of different cardiovascular diseases. Particular attention is given to developing computational models that can capture the multiscale and multiphysics nature of cardiovascular disease. Our work spans a variety of disciplines such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational nonlinear structural mechanics, mass transport, dynamical systems, medical imaging, systems biology, and multiscale modeling.

Our research centers around the following areas: 1- Developing new methods that can predict the initiation and progression of disease. 2- Developing predictive multiscale models of long-term disease progression that connect cell-scale biology to organ-scale biomechanics. 3- Collaborating with experimentalists to build reliable computational models.
