Student Projects (MSc and BSc)

BEP and MEP possible, both numerical (computer simulations) and experimental studies.

Possible Topics:

(i) blood flow and species (LDL, oxygen, medical drug) in healthy and diseased patient-specific vascular system; 

(ii) airflow in lungs (oxygen and aerosol distributions in the patient-specific geometries); 

(iii) computer optimization of the localized cancer treatment (MDT-magnetic drug targeting); 

(iv) mathematical modelling and computer simulations of atherosclerosis; 

(v) modeling and simulations of drug eluting stents; 

(vi) computer modeling of the tumor growth; 

(vii) cryogenic treatment of solid tumors; 

(viii) heart failure - simulations of the blood flow in heart chambers;

(ix) one-dimensional modeling of entire blood circulation in human body;

(x) one-dimensional modeling of airflow and particle depositions within a lung fractal structure; 

(xi) towards virtual surgery: computer optimization of operative treatments; 

(xii) the particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV) measurements of flow patterns in patient-specific aorta, carotid artery or brain vascular system;  

The projects are numerical (mathematical modeling and computer simulations) - both BEP and MEP. 

Possible topics:
