Biography
Dr Mihcin received her Ph.D. in 2008 in the field of ‘Computational Biomechanics’ from Loughborough University. She worked on spine stability, multi-body crash systems modelling, kinematic FE modelling of cervical spine (Leeds University) and design of machinery for test of implants before clinical applications. She has been enrolled in EU FP7 Funded Trans-Fusimo Project at the Institute for Medical Science & Technology, Dundee University since 2014.
Research Interest
Project Trans-fusimo aims to develop, implement and validate a multi-level model for moving abdominal organs for use with FUS and Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery. The patient specific model consists of several sub-models, which interact and describe aspects in a hierarchical manner: •Abdominal organ model to simulate motion and the influence on ultrasound application •Target organ/tumour model to capture organ/tumour physiology, and organ/tumour reaction to therapy •Microscopic tissue model to simulate direct heat ablation, model energy distribution, tissue heating and cooling •Model to evaluate first steps to simulate drug delivery, micro bubble distribution and dynamics
