Mathematical modelling of the heart and the circulation

这个博士项目将专注于发展数学描述整个心脏及其与循环的相互作用，使用一维和集中参数模型的组合。最先进的结构树模型将用于全身、肺和冠状动脉循环。该项目的目标是确定心脏在不同病理疾病下的功能，以及哪些治疗方案可能有效。学生将发展流体和固体力学建模方面的专业知识，以及对数学指导的临床翻译的洞察力。该项目将在SofTMech www.softmech.org的研究环境中进行，在那里与临床医生和国际研究小组建立了广泛的合作。这名学生将有机会访问我们的合作者并与之合作，包括我们的临床和工业合作伙伴，并将成为格拉斯哥大学一个充满活力的大型研究小组的一部分。

This PhD project will focus on developing mathematical descriptions of the whole heart and its interactions with the circulation using a combination of one dimensional and lumped parameter models. State of the art structured tree models will be used for systemic pulmonary and coronary circulations. The objectives of the project are to identify how the heart functions under different pathological diseases and what treatment options may be effective. The student will develop expertise in fluid and solid mechanics modelling as well as insights into mathematically guided clinical translation. The project will be performed in the research environment of SofTMech www.softmech.org where extensive collaborations with clinicians and international research groups are forged. The student will have the opportunity to visit and work with our collaborators including our clinical and industrial partners and will be part of a large dynamic group of researchers at the University of Glasgow.
