Homogenized Modelling of a Poroelastic Cornea, Bacterial Invasion and Ulceration

In this project we will model the structure of the human cornea (transparent layer on the front of the eye) to understand the effects that the underlying microstructure has on the mechanical properties when the cornea is both healthy and when subject to damage and disease. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr L Miller, Prof AM Majumdar
