Welcome to the CMIA Lab at Iowa State University!

Our lab focuses on the unique integration of image analysis techniques with computational mechanics and isogeometric analysis with applications such as  patient-specific modeling, computational neuroscience, and tissue engineering. We focus on developing generalized frameworks that can efficiently handle arbitrary image data to generate accurate computational models and provide analysis for complex applications.

Current Research Projects

• Image analysis, patient-specific & data-driven modeling for biomedical applications
• IGA-based phase field modeling for multi-stage neuron development
• Multiscale modeling for biological tissue growth, expansion, and deformation

Our Long-Term Vision

• Cost-effective biomedical devices and data-driven predictive computational models
• Improving clinical diagnosis, intra-operative, post-operative, and treatment procedures
• Creating multi-scale models directly from imaging data
• Open-source data platform based on patient-specific computational models
