Michigan Tech’s Safety Team — Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and the Office of Risk, Insurance, Safety, Security, and Compliance (RISSC) — will be hosting our fourth monthly safety roundtable: a place for all Huskies to share a cup of coffee and learn about the importance of campus health and safety.
We invite all Huskies to share a cup of coffee and learn about the importance of campus health and safety Wednesday (Aug. 7) from 9-10 a.m. in the MUB Alumni Lounge.
This event features information on the integration of Safety Skills training modules into Canvas. This exciting development will allow instructors to choose safety training topics “a la carte” and seamlessly incorporate them into their own classroom Canvas pages with just a few keyboard clicks! Shane Sullivan, educational technologist and Canvas expert, will be available for questions.
In addition, this will be an informal opportunity to talk with our campus safety professionals, ask the questions you have always wanted to ask and get the answers you need about Michigan Tech Safety programs, legal compliance issues and additional resources.
Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering candidate Seyedmostafa Rezaeitaleshmahalleh will present a final doctoral defense on Thursday, Aug. 8 at 10:30 a.m in H-STEM Complex 348 and virtually via Zoom.
Rezaeitaleshmahalleh's dissertation is titled "Computational Analysis of Vascular Aneurysms."
He is advised by Jingfeng Jiang.
From the abstract:
Vascular aneurysms, such as intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), pose significant health risks, particularly upon rupture. Disturbed hemodynamics, characterized by swirling flow patterns, can lead to cellular and structural changes that disrupt normal physiological processes and contribute to destructive vascular remodeling. Integrating hemodynamic analysis into clinical assessments of aneurysms has become crucial, especially through patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based on medical imaging. However, the complexity of CFD tools presents challenges in model creation and post-simulation analysis, limiting their accessibility to clinicians.
