This Special Topics Workshop will address the development of mathematical and computational modeling techniques that can be used to facilitate the development and optimal design of cardiac valve prostheses and other cardiovascular devices. Workshop topics will include the design of tissue scaffolds and cardiovascular stents used in bioartificial heart valve design and replacement, and also fluid-structure interaction between blood and cardiovascular tissue. The speakers will include mathematicians, biomedical engineers, and medical specialists. Poster presentations by students and post-doctoral researchers will also be included.
