Modelling swellable Microneedles for transdermal drug delivery
Swellable microneedles (SMN) have gained a lot of attention to the transport of drugs in the skin. Microneedle swells by absorbing interstitial fluid, causing the loaded drug to transport into the skin without polymer dissolution which reduces the chance of infection and skin irritation. ...

Numerical Simulations for Designing Wireless Electrochemiluminescence Imaging Microdevices
ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) is a phenomenon of light emission resulting from an initial electrochemical reaction [1]. Today, ECL is used for detecting biomolecules (DNA, RNA, biomarkers). Unlike other optical detection methods used in biosensors (e.g. fluorescence), ECL is a highly ... Read More
Modelling of an Innovative Directional Ultrasonic Atherosclerosis Treatment Device
Atherosclerosis prevalence keeps increasing worldwide because of the sedentary lifestyle and aging of the population. It is a pathology which is characterized by the build-up of plaque on the artery walls. While it has no incidence at the beginning, the blood flow can be severely altered ... Read More
Concentration polarization effects in a single pass membrane module for continuous diafiltration
Concentration polarization (CP) is a common problem in membrane filtration. It is caused by the convective transport of large molecules towards the membrane surface, however while the solvent passes the membrane as permeate, the molecules are retained and accumulate at the membrane ... Read More
Patient-specific Analysis of Left Ventricle Motion
We present a framework for patient-specific study of cardiac motion; in particular, we focus on the deformations of a beating Left Ventricle (LV), confronting numerical simulations with real data acquired by echo-cardiography. Our goal is to determine the clinical importance of the LV ... Read More
Cristalline Lens abberration during Laser Surgery
Femtosecond laser are now a regular tool of the modern ophtalmic surgeon, for instance in cataract surgery by enabling precise cut of the cristalline lens tissue before removal. As femtosecond laser tissue interaction is highly dependant of the energy spatial density, a simplified model ... Read More
Geometric exploration and optimisation of porous ceramic reactors for bioethanol production
This work investigates the design of porous ceramic reactors for continuous bioethanol production through simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Porous ceramic structures will be seeded with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and exposed to a continuous flow of glucose solution, from ... Read More
COMSOL® Experience Of Biomechanical Modeling Of Shells And Plates In Ophthalmology
Modern problems of biomechanics, in particular, the problems of modeling vision correction in ophthalmology are associated with the study of the stress-strain state of shells and plates made of complex materials. These problems are essentially nonlinear in geometry and in physical ... Read More
Numerical Model of Induced Transmembrane Voltage for Cell Electroporation Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Electroporation is the process of creating temporary hydrophilic pores in the cell membrane by applying an external electric field of specific strength and duration. It is used for gene transfection, and transport of other useful biomolecules and therapeutic drugs into the cell. When a ... Read More
Investigating the Impact of Substrate Composition on 3D Printed mmWave CSRR Sensor
Diabetes is a chronic noncommunicable disease which lays a heavy burden on many impoverished communities globally. The ability to monitor and manage the disease is one key component to lessening its impact. 3D printing (3DP) offers an economical manufacturing method to produce medical ... Read More
