Clemson University professors Richard Figliola and Ethan Kung work on new engineering technologies to perform “virtual vascular surgeries” on patients to help predict surgical outcomes and make surgical decisions before a patient actually goes under the knife. Work they are conducting can mimic a patient’s anatomical geometries as well as overall physiology in order to […]
