Workshop Overview

The VCU CSBC short course on Computational Modeling Applications in Cardiopulmonary Dynamics is designed to introduce clinician and biomedical scientists to the application of appropriate theoretical and computational models to cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular dynamics, ranging from cellular and biomolecular scale topics to mechanical biophysics and fluid dynamics. Participants will be split into two groups so that all participants can attend all lectures, thereby receiving the same learning opportunities. Plan to arrive by 6pm on 24 February 2008 for the opening dinner ceremony and guest lecture. Classes will begin promptly the morning of 24 February and continue through 1 March when we will have the closing dinner ceremony where students will receive their completion certificates. A typical course day will tentatively look as follows:

Time Objective
7:00 am - 8:00 am Breakfast and Networking
8:00 am - 9:30 am Guest Lecturer in Expertise Area
9:30 am - 10:00 am Questions and Discussion
10:00 am - 10:30 am Coffee Break, Networking and Continued Discussion
10:30 am - 12:00 pm Technical Lecture in Computational Modeling Applications in Cardiopulmonary Dynamics
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Lunch on Your Own
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Applied Laboratory Experience 1
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm Coffee Break, Networking and Continued Discussion
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Applied Laboratory Experience 2
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm Break for discussion, decompression, exploration
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Dinner and Dinner Lecture

Class sizes are limited so that we can provide personal attention to all participants. Lecture notes will be made available at the lecture notes web page For a detailed, day by day schedule of the course, click here.
