Computational Modeling and Simulation of Bioelectricity

4 credits

Explores multi-scale modeling of cardiac bioelectricity. Students learn biophysical theory in didactic lectures (e.g., ion channel kinetics, impulse propagation, arrhythmia) and conduct "virtual heart" experiments in hands-on sessions. Recommended: multivariable calculus (MATH 126); introductory electromagnetism (PHYS 122); computer programming (either BIOEN 217, CSE 122 , CSE 160, AMATH 301, or equivalent); and basic cardiovascular physiology (either BIOEN 345, P BIO 375, or equivalent).
