Faculty and students in the Multi-scale Cardiovascular Bioengineering Laboratory employ state-of-the-art engineering techniques to study the characteristics of different cardiovascular disorder configurations. By better understanding the complex relationships between cardiovascular tissue biology and the surrounding environment they can develop more effective early interventions for the treatment of degenerative and congenital cardiovascular disorders.
Innovative Plasma Aerodynamic Control Effectors designed by Clark Equipment Professor Thomas C. Corke, director of the Institute for Flow Physics and Control, are being used in a joint project with Professor Robert C. Nelson to enhance energy capture from a wind turbine and reduce the noise produced by it.
Notre Dame engineering faculty, in conjunction with researchers from Argonne National Laboratory, are developing thermodynamic and kinetic models of bacteria to better understand bacteria-water-rock interactions and predict heavy metal and radionuclide transport in the environment for both prevention and remediation efforts.
The texture of the iris has long been thought to be an unchanging biomarker. Studies of basis phenomena associated with iris recognition technologies conducted by researchers in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering have proven otherwise. This has led to changes in the ISO standard for iris template.
