A top-ranked Research Competitiveness Subprogram grant submitted by Dr. Damir Khismatullin of Tulane University seeks to develop highly efficient parallel algorithms for three-dimensional numerical simulation of deformable cell adhesion and migration. The PI will examine several mechanisms of active force generation in migrating cells, and their basis will be the computational fluid dynamics solver for multiphase viscoelastic flow problems, previously developed by Dr. Khismatullin.
