FGCU Biomedical Engineering
Interactive models, dashboards, in-class work, and computations from core BME courses. Every entry is dated, so the work log doubles as a record of the coursework over time.
Course
Rheology of plasma vs whole blood, arterial hydrostatics, and Jurin's law capillary rise — plus an interactive atherosclerotic-stenosis hemodynamics simulator (velocity heat map, pressure drop, wall shear stress) and a sleep-apnea / CPAP expiratory-relief physiology simulation (airway collapse, a full night, relief valve).
Course
IEC 60601 signal chain from measurand to display with the isolation barrier and cascaded transfer function; skin-electrode loading, thermistor vs strain-gauge linearity, instrumentation-amplifier CMRR, and Johnson noise; and a filter bank mapping HPF/LPF/band-pass/notch responses onto the physiological spectrum.
Course
DC and AC circuit analysis, Thévenin/Norton equivalents, first- and second-order transients, phasors, frequency response, and op-amp circuits.
Course
Sagittal-plane knee simulator: external load torque versus the patellar-tendon force required for static equilibrium.
Course
Course MATLAB/Simulink models rebuilt as interactive pages: Windkessel blood pressure, left-heart pressure-volume loops, glucose-insulin regulation with diabetes and metformin, cell population dynamics, diffusion and membrane potential, enzyme kinetics, and Hodgkin-Huxley action potentials.
Course
Experimental pipeline, governing biomechanics, ISO 10993 biocompatibility, and FGCU lab feasibility for the GO fibroblast recovery project.
