Mathematical Modeling of Physiological Systems
Lecturer
- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Achim Kienle
Time and Location
- only offered in winter semesters
- LSF
Content
- This course teaches mathematical modeling of selected physiological systems. For each investigated system, physiologigal basics are introduced first. Subsequently, mathematical model equations are derived and solved via numerical simulation in MATLAB/Simulink.
Structure
- Cardiovascular system
- Control of cell volume and electrical properties of the cells
- Signal transduction in neurons
- Signal processing in the retina
- Signal processing in the ear and cochlear implants
- Population balance modeling of biological systems
