Micro-mechanical resonators are widely used in modern sensing technology due to their high quality-factor (Q), enabling sensitive detection of various stimuli. However, the performance of these resonators in fluid environments is limited by…
Cavitation has historically been related to parameters measured at equilibrium, such as vapor pressure and surface tension. However, nucleation might occur when the liquid is metastable, especially for fast phenomena such as cavitation…
Recent work on distinct multicellular organisms has revealed a hitherto unknown type of biological noise; rather than a regular arrangement, cellular neighborhood volumes, obtained by Voronoi tessellations of the cell locations, are broadly…
Advances in computational science offer a principled pipeline for predictive modeling of cardiovascular flows and aspire to provide a valuable tool for monitoring, diagnostics and surgical planning. Such models can be nowadays deployed on…
A Feshbach resonance in the s-wave scattering length occurs if the energy of the two atoms in the incoming open channel is close to the energy of a bound state in a coupled closed channel. Starting from the microscopic hamiltonian that…
In this review, we examine computational models that explore the role of neural oscillations in speech perception, spanning from early auditory processing to higher cognitive stages. We focus on models that use rhythmic brain activities,…
Gaussian beams describe the amplitude and phase of rays and are widely used to model acoustic propagation. This paper describes four new results in the theory of Gaussian beams. (1) A new version of the \v{C}erven\'y equations for the…
Structural microvascular alterations and dysfunction serve as key disease indicators of cancer, diabetes, ischemic stroke, neurodegenerative disorders and many other conditions. In vivo visualization of the microvasculature has…
After entering the ear, sound waves propagate as surface waves along the cochlea's basilar membrane. In recent work, we showed numerically that the system supports two types of modes: localized resonant modes, which underpin the modern…
Analyzing human vasculature and vessel-like, tubular structures, such as airways, is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment. Current methods often rely on small sub-regions or simplified tree-like structures, rendering analysis of…
Complex fluids flow in complex ways in complex structures. Transport of water and various organic and inorganic molecules in the central nervous system are important in a wide range of biological and medical processes [C. Nicholson, and S.…
The meninges, located between the skull and brain, are composed of three membrane layers: the pia, the arachnoid, and the dura. Reconstruction of these layers can aid in studying volume differences between patients with neurodegenerative…
We study theoretically a driven hybrid optomechanical system with a membrane-in-the-middle configuration containing two identical elongated cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in each side of the membrane. In the weakly…
This work focuses on inner speech recognition starting from EEG signals. Inner speech recognition is defined as the internalized process in which the person thinks in pure meanings, generally associated with an auditory imagery of own inner…
According to the classical Helmholtz picture, an organ pipe while generating its eigentone has two anti-nodes at the two open ends of a cylinder, the anti-nodes being taken as boundary condition for the corresponding sound. Since 1860 it is…
Motivated by recent surprising experimental results for the noise output of superconducting microfabricated resonators used in quantum computing applications and astronomy, we develop a fully quantum theoretical model to describe quantum…
A major achievement of the past decade has been the realization of macroscopic quantum systems by exploiting interactions between optical cavities and mechanical resonators. In these systems, phonons are coherently annihilated or created in…
A noteworthy aspect in blood flow modeling is the definition of the mechanical interaction between the fluid flow and the biological structure that contains it, namely the vessel wall. It has been demonstrated that the addition of a viscous…
This thesis delves into the world of non-invasive electrophysiological brain signals like electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), focusing on modelling and decoding such data. The research aims to investigate what…
When an acoustic wave travels in a lossy medium such as a liquid, it progressively transfers its pseudo-momentum to the fluid, which results in a steady acoustic streaming. Remarkably, the phenomenon involves a balance between sound…
