Mathematical Modeling of Drug Transport in Brain Tumors
Blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers (BBB and BTB) constitute a major obstacle to the transport of therapeutics in brain tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS), when combined with circulating microbubbles, provides a noninvasive method to locally and transiently disrupt the BBB/BTB. ... Read More
Improving Thermal Effect on Biological Tissue using Multiphysics Simulation and Shape Optimization
As minimally invasive and robotic surgical devices get smaller, designing precise energy delivery to create the desired tissue effect becomes a key component in product development. With many interdependent physical phenomena occurring simultaneously, it becomes necessary to use tools ... Read More
Generation of SFQ-Pulses in SNS-Junctions: Learning Physics using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software
Single Flux Quantum, or SFQ, dynamics is at the heart of superconducting electronics. So are the Josephson junctions, or in a wider context, weakly-coupled superconducting junctions, in particular, superconductor-normal metal -superconductor, or SNS, junctions. Despite the COMSOL ... Read More
Generation of Divergence-Free Bessel-Gauss Beam from an Axicon Doublet for km-Long Collimated Laser
A well-collimated intensity profile at long distance has long been a desired laser property crucial for many potential applications. Extending a non-diverging range for ordinary laser beyond kilometers scale would permit superior performance for optical technologies, including LIDAR, or ... Read More
Foundational Undergraduate Teaching and Research Tools In Thermoelectrics Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
COMSOL Multiphysics® can play a crucial role in jumpstarting undergraduate research programs in physics and engineering at colleges with limited financial support and small faculty size. The engineering physics program at Ramapo College of NJ has 48 majors and 4 full time faculty with ... Read More
Fast Charging Strategy Optimization based on Electrochemical Model and Dynamic Programming for a Lithium-ion Battery Cell
Fast charging of lithium-ion batteries is critical to commercial application of electrical vehicles (EV). Recharging lithium-ion batteries using standard charging methods usually takes more than one hour which is considerably longer than refueling an internal-combustion-engine (ICE) car. ... Read More
