Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Multiscale modeling
  • Respiratory system simulation

Background:

  • Accurate simulation of human respiration is crucial for understanding inhaled particle effects.
  • Existing models often lack multi-scale integration, limiting predictive power for particulate matter impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multi-scale simulation capability for human respiration.
  • To predict the physiological effects of inhaled particulate matter using integrated models.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of macroscale human physiology models.
  • Meso-to-microscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for lung airflow.
  • Meso-to-nanoscale particle transport and deposition modeling.
  • Micro-to-nanoscale characterization of particulate matter and mass transfer.
