Director: Dr. Alain Kassab
The Computational Mechanics Laboratory at the University of Central Florida is a research group led by Dr. Alain Kassab that investigates primarily hemodynamics of congenital heart disease, but is not limited only to this field. CML also has research topics in hemodynamics of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADS), biological flows in embryonic development, and even hip dysplasia studies in infants. CML has a close collaborative relationship with Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, working primarily with Dr. DeCampli at the Heart Center for over a decade. For more information on our collaborators, see the Collaborators Page on our site.
