Supervisor: Pr. T. Vicsek, co-supervisors: local: Dr. E. Méhes, external academic: Pr. K. Mikula (P4, STUBA), non-academic: Dr J. Prechl (Diagnosticum).
Objectives: Developing new models that allow the simulation of a selection of spatio-temporal processes during inflammation. The calculations will be aimed at reproducing observed distributions and cell shapes as well as predicting their changes in time. Feedback with experimental data for a improvement loop.
Expected Results: Adequate models of the inflammatory processes will result in a useful classification of phenomena which have not been quantitatively described yet in a way allowing the comparison of concepts and observations.
