Symposium: Modeling and Characterization of Biological Materials and Biomaterials
Organizers: Iwona Jasiuk, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Tomasz Lekszycki, Inst. of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences
Ashok Kumar Ghosh, New Mexico Tech
Amy Wagoner Johnson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Description: Biological materials such as bone, cartilage, skin, artery or muscle are materials produced by a biological system. Biomaterials are synthetic materials used to replace part of a living system. Mathematical and computational models are used in fundamental studies for better understanding of biological systems and in prediction of their reactions to variable conditions what has important practical and clinical implications.

All works on modeling and characterization of biological materials and biomaterials, in particular interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of engineering, science and medicine, are welcome. Sample topics include multi-scale models, application of optimization methods in modeling, studies of growth, remodeling and healing of biological materials, modeling of controlled tissue cultivation, and other.
