We want to try and implement different cardiovascular models from literature on a common platform and perform comparison studies between them.
In a first step that includes identifying promising CVS models from literature and implementing them on a common simulation platform (simulink, Labview, or similar).
In a second step we want compare to models to each other and validation data.

- interest in biomedical engineering - interest in control systems and system modeling - the ability to think out of the box - a communicative and cooperative attitude - the ability of working on unfamiliar topics
The chair of Product Development
and Engineering Design at the
ETH Zurich considers itself a center
for system-oriented product
development and innovation. Our
aspiration consists on the one hand
of the advancement and investigation
of methods and processes of
product development and on the
other hand of the development of
new technical systems. The purpose
of our daily work is to contribute
to the innovative ability and
competitiveness of Switzerland.
