We are particularly seeking individuals who are interested in joining a multidisciplinary team to develop multiscale fluid-structure interaction models of atrial fibrillation (AFib) for understanding and, ultimately, predicting clotting risk in AFib patients. This work is funded through a recent award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and involves collaborations with UNC School of Medicine, Duke University and Duke School of Medicine, and the University of Utah. Other potential projects including the development, verification, and validation of computer models of medical devices in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
