COMSOL Model Files Download Page
This post is not an update on my research. I am creating this page to house download links to the COMSOL Multiphysics models I’ve constructed in the course of my work here in the McGrath Lab. This page is linked…

ECMO: Results and Conclusions
After several months of modeling, experimenting, thinking and rethinking, it’s finally time to talk about the conclusions we can draw about nanomembrane ECMO. These conclusions take into account only blood oxygenation, and not blood decarboxylation, which is a different therapy…

Experimental Validation of the ECMO Model
Two of my recent posts have dealt with my efforts to model ECMO and to experimentally validate this model. This post will describe the key change I made to my experimental system since my last post and describe my efforts…

Slight redesign of liftoff dialysis device
In light of technical difficulties associated with the current liftoff device design, I’ve been working on a slight alteration to the design with an eye towards reducing leaking and improving the shape of the flow in the dialysate chamber. The shape…

ECMO Model Design
While experimental results are still forthcoming, I thought I’d make a post about the nature of the model I’ve constructed for ECMO. This model is the one that my experiments are seeking to validate; so to be clear, this model…

ECMO Experimental Design
As I’m approaching the end of my time here at UofR, there’s one last thing I’d like to fit into my thesis: experimental validation of the ECMO model. In this post I’m going to describe the experimental design, and in…

Dialysis Clearance GUI
I have just completed testing and documentation of a MATLAB GUI designed to allow anyone to make predictions of the clearance behavior of solutes though our membranes in tangential flow. I’m uploading the file here, which includes all the MATLAB…
