Computational Mechanics and Biomechanics Laboratory
The laboratory develops computational methods for blood flow, tissue mechanics and perfusion in the human body, and applies the same methods to flow and transport problems in industry. The work combines mechanics, medical imaging, physiology, applied mathematics and machine learning.

Research areas
Clinical applications
Diseases the laboratory models directly, in collaboration with clinical partners.
Computational methods
The methods the applications rest on. Most are developed because an existing approach is too slow, too coarse, or stops where the imaging stops.
Openings
Undergraduate, master's, doctoral and postdoctoral positions are open. Enquiries with a CV are welcome at any time.
