The Systems Medicine Seminar welcomes Dr. Charles Puelez, hosted by Dr. Ivan Ramirez Zuniga.
Presenter: Charles Puelz, PhD, Assistant Professor
Affiliation: Department of Pediatrics-Cardiology, Baylor College of Medicine
Title: Computational cardiology: from vessel network modeling to cardiac fluid-structure interaction
Abstract: The cardiovascular system provides a natural application for physics-based modeling, since two of the essential components are “pipes” and “pumps.” In this talk, I will describe some of our efforts to model both peripheral hemodynamics in vessel networks, i.e. the pipes, and the fluid and solid mechanics of the human heart, i.e. the pumps. Vessel network models are based on an asymptotically reduced model for blood flow in a compliant cylinder. Heart models are based on a version of the immersed boundary method. While methods will be more of the focus of this talk, we will briefly describe some applications of these approaches to study hemodynamics in congenital heart disease.
Date: Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time
Venue: This presenter will be conducting the seminar virtually via Zoom. Join by Zoom or in MSB Room M-434, the LSM Conference Room.
