We have moved!

The CFMS group moved to the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2022. We are now the Flow Physics and Modeling Lab at RIT. Welcome to our new website hosted here.

Lab Statement

Our current research centers on computational modeling for simulating complex multiphysics biological processes with the full complexity of the human/animal anatomy for applications including personalized simulation-assisted treatment planning, device development and optimization, bio-inspired design, and basic research. Particular emphases are on passive and active fluid-structure-acoustics interaction, neuromuscular biomechanics, inverse tissue characterization/parameterization, and machine-learning-aided modeling.
