Events

From the 5th until the 6th of November the Annual Meeting of the GAMM Activity Group 'Computational Biomechanics' was held at the University of Stuttgart. The aim of this consortium is to bring together researchers in the field, to share ideas, join forces, and advance international visibility and r...

On Monday, November 4, we celebrated the 276th birthday of FAU. It was a great event, which showed the unique spirit of FAU. It is great to be part of Germany's most innovative university, number 2 in Europe, and number 14 worldwide. FAU offers the perfect environment to perform highly interdiscipli...

On the 19th of October we participated in the "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften". Many thanks to all the highly interested guests with exciting and inspiring questions, and of course to all our engaged helpers. We presented our research approach combining experiments, modeling and simulation, had ...

From September 21-25 2019 the 10th IBRO World Congress of Neuroscience was held in Daegu, South Korea, where we participated in the symposium on "Mechanical factors in brain development" organized by Prof. Yoichi Kosodo (Korea Brain Research Institute (KBRI), Republic of Korea) with Prof. Mineko Ke...

During a productive reserach visit at our former colleague and collaborator Dr. Ester Comellas' new work environment at Northeastern University, Boston, USA, we intensively advanced our understanding of the poro-viscoelasticity of brain tissue. We wrapped up previous joint projects and devised excit...

The joint 16th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering and the 4th Conference on Imaging and Visualization in New York City, USA, was a great opportunity to learn about the latest advances, innovations and applications of computer methods and imaging in...
