Publications

Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Methods
- boundary conditions for physiological fluid dynamics (3D,1D)
- multiscale modeling & numerical methods for their coupling
- model parametrization from real data (multi scale approach, data assimilation)
- coupling of agent-based and continuum models
Multiphysics modeling: fluid/solid interactions in deformable vessels and in porous media

Modeling and inverse problem for dynamic imaging interpretation (DCE-US, DCE-MRI, …, ICG fluorescence)
Applications
- congenital heart disease (single ventricle, ToF) & acquired disease (aneurysms, stenosis, etc)
- treatment planning (Fontan surgeries, percutaneous valve reducer, liver surgery)
- coronary circulation
- airflow and particle deposition in health and disease
- oncology application: interaction between vascularization & tumor development
