Finite Element Models

Organization:

Duke University and East Carolina University 

Project Description:

In my academic career, I have designed multiple finite element models for various projects. One research project was conducted on studying the effect of collateral vasculature on the hemodynamics of blood flow out of a coronary artery bypass graft. Another project for my fluids class at Duke evaluated a variable height flow chamber to look at the adherence of cells in response to fluid flow. 

What I Learned:

Through these projects, I have become comfortable with FEA software, primarily COMSOL. I have also performed simulations in Ansys and Solidworks.
