Applied dynamics in cardiorespiratory physiology
Our group develops mathematical models to simulate and analyze dynamics in cardiopulmonary physiology, including simulations of transport processes and control in response to system disturbances. We are particularly motivated by the use of patient-specific and often non-invasive data to predict behavior at the individual level. Our work spans scales from lumped parameter systems of differential equations to three-dimensional distributed parameter fluid dynamics simulations. This work is highly interdisciplinary and as a result we collaborate with researchers in biomedical engineering, medicine, and exercise science.
