This Project Grant award of $506,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund research by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop advanced multiscale modeling capabilities for predicting thrombus (clot) formation and its response to external loads. The goal is to create computational tools that can better forecast clot growth and rupture under varying blood flow conditions, such as pulsatile...
This Project Grant award of $418,901 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms that drive cardiac arrhythmias. The project integrates complex computational simulations of electrical, mechanical, and fluid dynamics within the cardiovascular system to explore how multiple physiological factors contribute to arrhythmia initiation and progression. The research findings will be incorporated into educational...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to characterize the mechanical response of blood clots under external load. The $138,893 award to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York will develop a hybrid particle-continuum model to predict clot strength, toughness, and dynamic modulus based on clot composition. The research aims to advance understanding of how individual clot components,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) supports the development of a new computational model to predict the complex interactions between ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the beating native heart. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of an experimental mock circulatory loop used for testing VAD safety and efficacy. This $195,291 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will result in a lumped parameter model that...
