Welcome
The Neurohydrodynamics and Medical Technology Lab (NMTL) is led by Dr. Bryn Martin in conjunction with the Laboratory of Hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Technology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). We investigate the pathophysiology of craniospinal and cerebrovascular disorders from a hydrodynamic and biomechanical perspective and develop related medical technologies.
Purpose
The purpose of neurohydrodynamics.com is to:
- foster collaboration and discussion between medical doctors and engineers
- provide in vivo and in vitro experimental data for improving modeling capabilities
- increase interest in heurohydrodynamic disorder research
Research areas
- Current projects
- Available projects for M.S. or B.S. students
- Past projects
What is neurohydrodynamics?
Neurohydrodynamics is a division of neural engineering that focuses on the hydrodynamics of the neurological system. It applies engineering principles and design concepts to neuroengineering seeking to close the gap between fluid mechanics and neurosurgical and neurological medicine. It combines fluid mechanics principles with neuroscience to improve neurological disorder healthcare in terms of medical diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.
