Computational Methods
Fluid Structure Interaction
We use Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) to account for the deformation of artery walls under the action of blood flow and describe the behavior of heart valves.
Growth and Remodeling
Growth and Remodeling methods focus on the medium/long-term adaptation of cardiovascular systems to stresses induced by blood.
Optimization and Uncertainty
We develop methods to efficiently explore medical device designs and estimate the uncertainty related to cardiovascular simulation parameters.
Patient-Specific Modeling
We develop methods to facilitate the creation of patient-specific cardiovascular models using machine learning and novel geometrical modeling algorithms.
Reduced Order Modeling
Reduced Order Models are cheap models that can quickly estimate bulk quantities (e.g., average pressure and flow rate) at a fraction of the cost of full three-dimensional simulations.
