Brief description of the research
Dr. Tijana Đukić's research includes the development of numerical models and software for simulations of various processes in biomedicine, including blood flow through larger and smaller blood vessels, simulation of particle motion immersed in a fluid, modeling of cancer cell behavior at multiple scales, as well as modeling of canalithiasis processes in the vestibular system and stent implantation in coronary arteries. Main areas of research include fluid mechanics and computational mechanics, solid-fluid interaction, microfluidics, cancer modeling at multiple scales, parallel programming and simulations using the finite element method, and lattice Boltzmann methods.
