cardiovascular biomechanics, biomedical flows, fluid-structure interaction, multiphysics modeling, immersed-boundary method, finite-element method, numerical methods, high-performance computing.
Research Profile
In our lab, we use multiphysics computational modeling to advance our understanding of cardiovascular diseases and to improve diagnosis and treatment. Our research focuses on two topics: (1) developing advanced numerical methods and high-performance computational tools; (2) applying these tools to study the multiphysics process in the cardiovascular system.
We currently have several openings for Postdocs, PhD and ungraduated students. Please contact us via email for more information.
Opportunities
We seek highly motivated graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate students interested in computational physics, biofluids and cardiac mechanics to join our group.
If you are interested, please contact Dr. Zhu (chi.zhu pku.edu.cn) for more information.
For international students, we have English-Taught Ph.D. programs. Please refer to the university website for more information:
