Research Interests:
- Advanced application of mechanistic and anatomic based models for developing an integrated understanding of the structure-function relations in the lung with emphasis on asthma and COPD
- Image-based Computational models of integrated lung function for personalized medicine
- Development of novel measurement, monitoring and signal processing techniques that provide new insights on the structural airway and tissue conditions of the healthy and diseased lung.
- Advancing new paradigms and technologies for mechanical ventilation base on fundamental biological principals so as to improve diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
- Advancing linear and nonlinear sensitivity and systems identification science to evaluate the efficacy of applying models to physiological data with emphasis on structural lung models
