interdisciplinary collaboratory group:
We're a group of students in Bioengineering, Computer Science, Neurosciences, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Mathematics developing multi-scale computational models of a cardiac myocyte. We use the finite element method to solve linear and nonlinear systems on a cellular domain mapped from experimental data.
