Description of Research Interest

My research group's vision is to answer fundamental questions of physiology and address clinical needs through the convergence of engineering, biological and medical research. We combine computational techniques with experimental methods to establish comprehensive models of investigated systems. Our focus is on fluid flow and mass transport processes in the cardiovascular system, the brain and the kidneys.
