Founded in 1999, the Computational Biomechanics Group at the Institute of Informatics has been at the forefront of biomechanical research. Over the years, our focus has evolved from foundational work in fluid dynamics and tissue modeling to cutting-edge studies in Computational Cardiovascular Biomechanics.

Today, our research spans several key areas, including:

  • Venous and Aortic Heart Valves
  • Fluid-Structure Interaction
  • CT&MRI Image Segmentation
  • Coronary Artery Blood Flow
  • Multi-Phase Blood Flow
  • Structural Mechanics & Dynamic Simulations
  • 3D Printing of Heart Valves using DLP Technology
  • Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Rapid Simulations

We leverage high-performance computing resources with, polymer-based valve production, and 3D printing to develop new solutions for heart valve replacement and repair. Our interdisciplinary approach combines expertise in engineering, material science, and biomedical research to create innovations that directly impact healthcare outcomes.
