Nicholas Rierson nrierso@g.clemson.edu BTRL Member since 2014 Many of the heart valve centric projects in the lab utilize our bioreactor to simulate the mechanical stresses of the human heart. I am working to improve the amount and quality of data that can be gathered from the bioreactor. A variety of techniques will be utilized including computer image analysis of pictures and video of the valve, and particle image velocimetry to study the flow mechanics of the valve in the bioreactor. The more information we can gather from heart valves in the lab, the better we can understand how they will act in the body. |
