Our primary research goal is to develop numerical technologies to improve medical diagnosis in terms of accuracy, robustness and patients’ safety. The application focus is currently the cardiovascular system, whose pathologies are the world’s leading cause of death.

To achieve this, we develop mathematical and numerical methods for biophysical models — for example fluid mechanics, magnetization and electrophysiology. We are particularly interested in bridging these models with medical data through the solution of inverse problems. This provides the highly relevant ability to link heterogeneous experimental and clinical observations, and in particular medical images, to tissue structure and function from sub-cellular to the whole organ level.
