相关介绍: Abstract    Is mathematics useful in real life?  Can mathematicians solve some realistic problems and prove their value? In this talk, we will use several examples to demonstrate how mathematics and computational models could be used to solve important real-life problems and make significant contributions to the society and public health.  One example will be image-based human heart model with fluid-structure interactions (FSI) to evaluate human heart cardiac function before and after surgery and optimize human pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) surgical procedure and patch design.  Another example will be human coronary artery model based on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images. Those models normally include the following: a) an very important health problem (heart attack, stroke); b) patient-specific image data to get the geometry of the heart or artery; c) material properties; d) blood flow information; d) good mathematical models and methods to solve those models; e) critical information which are useful for surgical planning or early prediction of clinical evens (heart attack, stroke); f) potential for implementation in clinical practice.
We will discuss the current research directions and trends in science and mathematics.  Dr. Tang will share his 28 years of research experience in US and he welcomes questions, new research topics and future collaborations.  Opportunities for graduate studies, post-doc and visiting positions can be discussed.
