Mathematics with Applications to Life Science.
A geometric approach to the dynamics of cardiac excitation patterns.
Delve into the theory of rotors and arrhythmias, with a focus on the intricate
patterns of electrical waves in the heart and their consequences. Ongoing
research combines mathematical physics concepts with experimental data for
a comprehensive understanding of cardiac dynamics.
In the week of 22th of May, HeartKOR participated in the 5th openCARP
user meeting, where also a presentation, poster and suggestion for hacky
hour were presented.
In the week of 15th of May, HeartKOR presented in the SIAM conference at
Portland about Dynamical Systems.
Last Friday, Lieven Thorrez and Heidi Declercq invited us for a visit to
the Development and Regeneration lab at KULAK. We loved learning about
their innovative research on human tissue regeneration and sharing
research ideas.
In the latest edition from Sonar Nr. 9, an article was published in which
is illustrated how HeartKOR contributes to the digital twins.

On January 10, Prof. Hans Dierckx gave a lecture to a group of about 700
high school students with the title, "The heart sometimes experiences
STEM issues as well." Within the lecture, it was indicated how
mathematics, physics, and computer science are relevant for the (future)
treatments for cardiac arrhythmia. As a bouncer, there is a link between
heart problems and Einstein's general relativity!
HeartKOR was present at "Dag van de Wetenschap" in Kulak to teach the
public something about cardiac modeling.
