Congratulations to colleague Mattias Karlsson on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Tuesday, 12 November 2024, our colleague Mattias Karlsson presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ”Model-based Analysis of Individual Atrioventricular Node Conduction Dynamics During Atrial Fibrillation” Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in…
Congratulations to Anna Johnning who has been awarded the Chalmers Pedagogical Prize 2024!
Anna is one of three people who have been awarded the Chalmers Pedagogical Prize 2024, which was announced last week at Chalmers’ Annual General Meeting. The Chalmers Pedagogical Prize is intended to encourage teachers’ efforts to improve and develop the conditions for…
Disputation – Mattias Karlsson 12/11 2024 – ”Model-based Analysis of Individual Atrioventricular Node Conduction Dynamics During Atrial Fibrillation”
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the world, leading to a significant burden to patients and the healthcare system. It is characterised by rapid and irregular atrial contractions stemming from disorganised electrical activity in the atria. The atrioventricular (AV)…
Congratulations to colleague Marcus Baaz on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Wednesday, 20 March 2024, our colleague Marcus Baaz presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy “Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data”. Abstract Mathematical modeling is…
Disputation – Marcus Baaz 20/3 2024 – “Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology”
Abstract Mathematical modeling is an integral part of the drug development process. Models are developed to describe tumor dynamics or drug concentration to answer questions such as: What concentration is required to reach the desirable treatment outcome? What drug dose and frequency…
Congratulations to Colleague Morgan Görtz on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Friday, 26 January 2024, our colleague Morgan Görtz presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy “Numerical homogenization of network models and micro-mechanical simulation of paperboard”. Abstract Micro-mechanical simulations of paper products involve complex geometries and challenging…
Congratulations to Colleague Viktor Skantze on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Tuesday, 23 January 2024, our colleague Viktor Skantze presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy “Mathematical modelling in personalized nutrition” Abstract Precision nutrition (PN) is an emerging field that aims to provide the right diet to…
Disputation – Morgan Görtz 26/1 2024 – “Numerical homogenization of network models and micro-mechanical simulation of paperboard”
Micro-mechanical simulations of paper products involve complex geometries and challenging numerical problems. This work considers micro-mechanical simulations where individual paper fibers are modeled and resolved. This level of detail is useful in paper-product development, where wood composition and other fiber-based parameters are…
Methods for reducing the spread of bacteria causing difficult-to-treat infections
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health and the scientific community plays an important role in understanding the drivers behind the increasing resistance among bacteria. The activities at Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre in this field are led by Dr Anna Johnning who…
The importance of precision nutrition
In a recent study Viktor Skantze and co-authors utilized experimental data combined with mathematical modelling to show that individuals with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes respond differently to the same meal. The analysis led to a division of individuals into…
