Description


Computer modelling of complex physiological systems and their interaction with medical devices is becoming increasingly important in modern medical device design. This course provides a practical overview of computational modelling in bioengineering, focusing on a range of applications including electrical stimulation of neural and cardiac tissues, implantable drug delivery, cancer therapy, biomechanics, blood flow, and 3D surface techniques for realistic modelling and visualisation of organs, tissues and devices.
