International Initiatives

Trans-Atlantic Network of Excellence for Cardiovascular Research

Participants : Grégory Arbia, Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau, Irène Vignon-Clementel [correspondant] .

Period: 2010-2014

This network, funded by the Leducq fondation, is working on the multi-scale modeling of single ventricle hearts for clinical decision support(http://modelingventricle.clemson.edu/home ).

INRIA Associate Teams

Participants : Grégory Arbia, Cristóbal Bertoglio Beltran, Miguel Ángel Fernández Varela, Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau, Céline Grandmont, Irène Vignon-Clementel [coordinator] .

Period: 2008-2014

CARDIO : The aim of this project is to foster the collaboration between the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Research Laboratory (CVBRL) of C.A. Taylor (Stanford University, USA) and colleagues such as Dr. Feinstein, and the project-team REO, through research on cardiovascular and respiratory related topics (boundary conditions for complex flow, patient-specific modeling of congenital heart disease, image-based fluid solid interaction, postprocessing of numerical simulations). The associated team has been extended to other partners: team-project MACS at INRIA, the Marsden group at USCD and the Flow physics group at IIT. CA Figueroa is now at KCL, UK.
