PHYSICS-GUIDED MODELING OF RESPIRATORY TRANSPORT WITH TRANSLATIONAL GOALS
The human respiratory system presents a multiscale challenge, with the cross-sectional widths of its anatomically complex channels varying across two to three orders of magnitude. As we inhale air and particulates through these spaces, the physics of the transport process is fascinating and presents many open questions. In this talk, Dr. Saikat Basu will explore methods for integrating physiologically realistic numerical simulations of inhaled transport with sophisticated reduced-order analytical techniques. The discussion will then branch into two main areas where intra-airway fluid dynamics plays a crucial role: (a) the mechanics of respiratory infection onset in the upper and lower airways, and (b) the mechanics of targeted intra-airway drug delivery. To establish translational connections, the talk will emphasize how seemingly distant fields, such as fluid dynamics and virology, can enhance our understanding of respiratory complications.
The lecturer, Dr. Basu, is a tenured Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at South Dakota State University (Brookings, United States). His research program is being supported by grants from the US National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, along with private industry funding. His notable awards include the NSF CAREER Award and the ASME Rising Star of Mechanical Engineering. Group webpage: Biomedical and Bioinspired Fluid Dynamics Lab.
