Guest Lecture Abstract
The core of Dr. Prahl Wittberg’s research is fluid dynamics, with a focus on complex fluids commonly found in the human body (such as blood) and aimed at enhancing the physical understanding of flow physics in order to enable better treatment in different clinical applications such treatment with ECMO, respirators and dialysis. Her research group seeks to develop tools and methods to advance the understanding of underlying processes, such as modelling and early detection of the development of thromboembolic pathologies in clinical situations. This work is of both numerical and experimental character and is carried out in close collaboration with clinical partners.
