Numerical modeling of the endovascular system• Utilized a numerical model to determine the biomechanical factors important in stent design.• Results showed that stent placement along with geometry played a crucial role in the local stress and arterial blood flow developed in the region.• The altered blood flow patterns developed low wall shear stress ultimately risking restenosis.• The study showed that by optimizing the impedance mismatch and placement of a drug eluding stent could reduce restenosis.

Simulating the impact of concentrated force on the spinal cord using ABAQUS• The purpose of this study was to probe into the field of explicit dynamic modeling of the Intervertebral disk using ABAQUS. The present static creep analysis was adapted to perform a high velocity, high impact dynamic modeling.Modeling the effect of blood pressure on a stent using ABAQUS • Study the plastic and dynamic behavior of a stainless steel stent under the effect of pulsating blood flow on the stent.• Performed a stress analysis using a 3D model of the stent in ABAQUSOptimizing the auto-focusing algorithm for a wide-field, high resolution optical microscope using visual studio • Optimized an edge detection based algorithm, enabling the acquisition of a focused image for each ‘tile’ of image taken on a simple optical microscope.• Focused image acquisition time reduced by 50 %.
