This week, Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation trainee Aristotle Martin successfully defended his PhD dissertation, “Parallel Adhesive Dynamics With Adaptive Physics Refinement for Large-Scale Tracking of Circulating Tumor Cells.”  Working in the Randles Lab, his work advances computational approaches for understanding cancer metastasis by developing a scalable, performance-portable multiphysics platform to model how fluid-derived forces and…

Multiple research frameworks from the Randles Lab were nominated for the 2025 HPCWire Readers’ Choice Awards.

Amanda Randles discussed her presentation at the 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum, “Vascular Digital Twins: From Algorithms to Proactive Patient Care,” in an interview with Bennie Mols.

Amanda Randles, Ph.D., director of the Duke Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation, attended the HLF in a historic way: she is the first participant to attend both as a student and return as a laureate.

Several interdisciplinary projects at Duke are using virtual and augmented reality to push the frontiers of physical and mental therapies.

Gorlatova earns a DARPA Director’s Fellowship to advance research that makes augmented reality safer for soldiers and everyday users.

With the support of the NINDS Research Program Award, McIntyre will use patient-specific models to better understand how electrodes can record and stimulate the human brain.

Center member Nusrat Sadia Khan is featured in this article about highly detailed simulations of the coronary artery only need one to two heartbeats to calibrate, rather than the standard five-plus. Read the article

Several Center members will be at the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual Meeting in San Diego October 8 – 12, 2025. Visit the Dukeʼs exhibitor booth to learn more about the Center for Computational & Digital Health Innovation and to meet our members. You can also find us at research talks, poster sessions, and more! Randles…

Congratulations to Center member Aristotle Martin on receiving an honorable mention for the 2025 ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowships. The George Michael Memorial Fellowship honors exceptional PhD students throughout the world whose research focus is high-performance computing (HPC) applications, networking, storage, or large-scale data analytics.
