Toward developing a fluid-solid-growth modeling framework for arterial biomechanics applications, we are interested in creating a Python wrapper for our in-house finite element method-based flow solver. The student will work with the PI and a postdoc in the lab. The student will learn the workflow for simulating blood flow in patient-specific arterial geometries including image segmentation, building a computational model, extracting personalized boundary conditions, and running flow simulations. The student will be exposed to finite element methods and interface with large open-sourced codes.
