Podcast: Physics‑based Simulations Help Diagnose and Treat Disease
In a conversation with Physics World’s Margaret Harris, Center Director Amanda Randles explains how she uses physics-based, computationally intensive simulations to develop new ways to diagnose and treat human disease. She has also investigated how data from wearable devices such as smartwatches can be used identify signs of heart disease. Listen to the podcast -
Center Trainee Defends PhD on High-Performance Modeling of Cancer Metastasis
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… -
