[Settimanale] avviso Colloqui della Classe di Scienze, prof. Alfio Quarteroni (30.10.2019)
*Colloqui della Classe di Scienze *
Anno Accademico 2018/2019
Mercoledì 30 ottobre 2019 ore 15:00
*Scuola Normale Superiore* Sala Azzurra Palazzo della Carovana Alfio Quarteroni
*Politecnico di Milano, Italia, and Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland (professor emeritus)*
Terrà un seminario dal titolo:
*“**Taking Mathematics to Heart”*
*Abstract:*
In this presentation I will highlight the interplay between data science and computational science to efficiently solve real life large scale problems . The leading application that I will address is the numerical simulation of the heart function. The motivation behind this interest is that cardiovascular diseases unfortunately represent one of the leading causes of death in Western Countries. Mathematical models based on first principles allow the description of the blood motion in the human circulatory system, as well as the interaction between electrical, mechanical and fluid-dynamical processes occurring in the heart. This is a classical environment where multi-physics processes have to be addressed. Appropriate numerical strategies can be devised to allow an effective description of the fluid in large and medium size arteries, the analysis of physiological and pathological conditions, and the simulation, control and shape optimization of assisted devices or surgical prostheses. This presentation will address some of these issues and a few representative applications of clinical interest.
