Multiscale Models in Mechano and Tumor Biology: Modeling, Homogenization, and Applications

28.09.2015 (Monday) , 09:00 - 18:00
TU Darmstadt, Building S4/10, Lecture room 1 , Dolivostr. 15 , 64293 Darmstadt

The workshop is aimed at presenting and discussing the state of the art and future perspectives in mathematical modeling and homogenization techniques with the focus on addressing key physiological issues in the context of multiphase healthy and malignant biological materials. The workshop will be interdisciplinary by bringing together scientists with complementary expertise, such as pure and applied mathematicians, engineers, and biophysicists. As part of the workshop, there will be a half-day introductory course on asymptotic homogenization. This is particularly intended to introduce PhD students and postdocs to this topic.

 

Topics

  • Multiscale and mathematical modeling of 
    • hierarchical (biological) materials,
    • multiphase and fiber reinforced composites,
    • fluid and drug transport in healthy and malignant tissues.

     

  • Innovative homogenization techniques for multiscale models including
    • asymptotic homogenization,
    • representative volume element techniques,
    • average field approaches.

     

  • Numerical challenges and novel methods in the simulation of multiscale models.
