About the Research Award In order to attract highly talented students to undertake research work leading to a PhD, Narayana Nethralaya Foundation has establish a Narayana Nethralaya Reseach Award Program at Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. The awardee will be working in the Computational Mathematics Group (CMG) with Prof. Sashikumaar Ganesan as his/her advisor in collaboration with Dr Abhijit Sinha Roy, Chief Scientist, Imaging and Biomechanics Lab, Narayana Nethralaya Bangalore. The overall scope of this work is to develop a customised finite element code and three-dimensional mesh to perform patient specific inverse finite element simulations for quantifying the non-linear hyperelastic properties of the human cornea. |
