In a paper recently accepted by Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Yajuan Wang and Onur Dur, graduate students under the advice of Profs Kerem Pekkan and Bradley Keller, analyzed cardiac fluid dynamics in early embryonic great vessels. The results identified a number of geometric and fluid mechanical parameters that may regulate cardiac morphogenesis during cardiovascular development.  |

Prof. Jelena Kovacevic's article entitled "Quantized Frame Expansions with Erasures" is one of the 10 most cited papers in the Journal of Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis. This article looks into how to provide robustness in the transmission of data in the presence of losses (erasures) by using redundant signal representations known as frames.
