Computational Biomechanics Group
Our research group focuses on studying the mechanisms behind initiation and progression of different diseases with a particular focus on cardiovascular disease. Particular attention is given to developing computational models that can capture the multiscale and multiphysics nature of cardiovascular disease. Another key focus of our lab is developing new scientific machine learning models with a broad range of applications. Our work spans a variety of disciplines such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational nonlinear structural mechanics, scientific machine learning, mass transport, dynamical systems, medical imaging, mechanobiology, and multiscale modeling.
