Research Assistant

Interests

I am currently interested in lung tissue elasticity. Within this work, I am developing patient specific models of lung mechanics to predict density and pressure gradients in the lung.

My DPhil thesis concentrated on computational modelling of cardiac specialized conduction system electrophysiology. During the DPhil, I developed new mathematical and computational techniques that enabled the development of specific models that gave insight into the impact of anatomical variability in the specialized conduction system on the heart's function. I further developed image processing techniques to directly determine the anatomical structure of the specialized conduction system.

Previous research interests include the computational modelling of voltammetry techniques and parameter estimation in electrochemistry.

Biography

Rafel received a B.Sc. degree (1st) in Mathematics with Computing from the University of Warwick, Coventry, U.K. in 2001.
