Neural Networks can approximate real-valued, discrete values and vector-valued functions. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have inputs neurons, hidden layers, and output neurons. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has ...

Copepods’ interaction with marine snow and how they capture food is an understudied topic. The focus of this project is to create mathematical models of copepods and marine snow particles to study how different movement ...

Jellyfish only expend little energy while in motion, making them highly efficient swimmers. We can explore swimming performance using computer simulations to further understand jellyfish locomotion. Each computer simulation ...

Proper heart morphogenesis requires a delicate balance between hemodynamic forces, myocardial activity, morphogen gradients, and epigenetic signaling, all of which are coupled with genetic regulatory networks. Recently ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models are being rapidly integrated into applications across all sciences and engineering. CFD harnesses the power of computers to solve the equations of fluid dynamics, which otherwise ...

Jellyfish are majestic, energy-efficient, and one of the oldest species that inhabit the oceans. It is perhaps the second item, their efficiency, that has captivated scientists for decades into investigating their locomotive ...

While pendulums have been around for millennia and have even managed to swing their way into undergraduate curricula, they still offer a breadth of complex dynamics to which some has still yet to have been untapped. To ...

We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a 2𝘋 fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of ...

Effective methods of fluid transport vary across scale. A commonly used dimensionless number for quantifying the effective scale of fluid transport is the frequency based Reynolds number, Ref, which gives the ratio of ...

Mesoscale filtering and protective layers are replete throughout the natural world. Within the body, arrays of extracellular proteins, microvilli, and cilia can act as both protective layers and mechanosensors. For example, ...
