My lab specialises in
cardiovascular haemodynamics. We investigate methods to assess cardiovascular function
by analysing pulse wave signals, such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) waves. These signals, measured
in vivo using devices including wearable sensors, are influenced by the heart, vasculature, and the respiratory and autonomic nervous systems.
We develop (i)
models to simulate pulse wave signals under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions, (ii)
methods to calibrate these models and understand the underlying mechanisms, and (iii)
signal processing techniques to support clinical decision-making.
My group's research is described
here.
A key tool in our research is
Nektar1D, an in-house code I began developing during my PhD.
Nektar1D simulates blood pressure, flow, and luminal area waves in arterial networks using a nonlinear, one-dimensional (1D) model. It enables
fast and accurate pulse wave calculations in large arteries on standard PCs.
