Metin Ozen is principal of OZEN ENGINEERING, INC. (Moffett Field, CA.) His company is the ANSYS Channel Partner in Northern California. He has been in the field of Applied Mechanics for 24 years. He has a Ph.D. from University of Connecticut, M.S. and B.S. from Lehigh University. Metin has also served as chair of ASME Santa Clara Valley Section in 2001-2002. He is an ASME Fellow.
Dr. Ozen’s talk will concentrate on simulation efforts in biospace industry. Simulation helps scientists and engineers to understand and visualize anything from drug distribution to medical device performance like stents. Several test cases will be presented in order to compare results of this method to intuitive predictions and previous models. Some of these may include:
·whole-body heat conduction problem
·simple arterial wall diffusion problem, as if by stent delivery
·two-part stent problem: deployment (stent and wall modeled)
·diffusion of the drug coating on the stent through the arterial tissues
·Integration of systemic circuit and 'bulk' soft tissue model
