"Computer Simulations in Medical Engineering", 19 November 2008, IMechE, London,UK
Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
1 Birdcage Walk
London SW1H 9JJ, UK
Full programme available at:
http://www.imeche.org/events/event.asp?id=s1281
Organising committee: Georges Limbert and Mark Taylor (University of Southampton, UK)
Computer simulation techniques are revolutionising the way research and development is conducted for developing new products in a wide range of industries such as Pharmaceutics, Biomedical and Bio-Engineering.
Through practical case studies from key academic and industry specialists, this event will present novel state-of-the-art computational techniques and explore how these tools can solve a variety of problems in Medicine and related fields.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Dr Yiannis Ventikos, University of Oxford, UK
- Dr Philippe Young, Simpleware Ltd, UK
- Dr Dawn Walker, Kroto Research Institute, University of Sheffield, UK
- Dr Jonathan Jeffers, Finsbury Orthopaedics, UK
- Professor Mark Sansom, University of Oxford, UK
- Dr Daniel Kelly, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
- Dr Sandra Shefelbine, Imperial College London, UK
- Dr Francoise Dufour, Arup, UK
- Professor Mark Taylor, University of Southampton, UK
The event will cover and explore computational tools and ideas in:
1/ State of the art mathematical/computational techniques:
* Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
* Agent-Based Modelling (ABM)
* Computational Molecular Dynamics (CMD)
* Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
* Image -based modelling
2/ Computational modelling of the mechanics of biological tissues and structures as well as biomaterials: Tissue Engineering, Biological Tissue/Medical Device interface, Pre-Operative Planning, material performance.
3/ Computational modelling of mechanobiological processes: growth, remodelling and healing.
The objectives of the day are to:
* Explore novel ideas and learn how computational simulation techniques can be used to design, develop and improve the performance of medical devices, clinical treatments and drugs.
* Expand the awareness and prospects of consultant engineers/researchers into the high-growth biomedical engineering market.
* Expand the awareness of pharmaceutical and medical device companies on the benefits of using computer simulations in the development of their products.
* Foster cross-discipline networking and collaboration opportunities among researchers from Engineering and the Biosciences, consultant engineers and medical device/pharmaceutical/ biomedical companies.
NB: Numbers are restricted to 60 people and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
