| Research Abstract |
We have developed computational nano-biomechanics for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of blood, circulatory, and digestive organs. We proposed a novel hemodynamic index to predict the initiation of cerebral aneurysms. A numerical model of microvascular blood flow was developed for simulating microvascular occlusion in malaria infection, and thrombogenesis. A model of swimming microorganisms was also developed for analyzing intestinal flora.
