New paper on mechanical regularization for motion tracking

I (with the help of Philippe Moireau and Patrick Le Tallec) just introduced a new formulation of the equilibrium gap principle in the context of finite element motion tracking, cf. https://doi.org/10.5802/crmeca.228! The code is available online (https://gitlab.inria.fr/mgenet/dolfin_warp), and there are even freely available Jupyter notebooks to…

(Closed) PhD position on Modeling and Estimation of Pulmonary Dynamics

Context & Objectives The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and many animals, responsible for molecular exchanges between external air and internal blood through mechanical ventilation. They have an extraordinary complex architecture, with the inherent fractal structure of the bronchial and blood vessel trees, as…
