Multiphysics Modeling Of Devices For Whole Organ Healthcare Applications

In order to fully understand the functionality of conformal devices, it is critical to develop computational models built from engineered models of 3-dimensional objects. This thesis established a scanning procedure to engineering 3D digital model for whole organs, known as template engineering. The resultant scanning data enabled designing, manufacturing, and modeling of novel organ healthcare devices. Specifically, we applied template engineering and structured-light scanning techniques to capture the 3D topographical information for whole organ systems. Sequentially, we developed multiphysics models for understanding the device functionality, including the function of devices for microfluidic interface and whole organ mechanical stabilization.
