Mathematical Modeling in Industry-A Workshop for Graduate
Students
Computer Simulation of Intracardiac Electrogram Sensing
Tutor: Shirley Min, Medtronic
The project will lead students step by step from understanding the
electrogram sensing problems to mathematical formulation and solution. At
the beginning of the workshop, an overview of the mathematical modeling and
the importance in tachyarrhythmia research of implantable cardioverter and
defibrillator industries will be given. Then the background and the
existing models of the sensing will be reviewed. Mathematical description
of the problem will be developed and the surface integral equations will
solved by numerical methods i.e. Method of Moment. Other alternative
approaches such as Finite Element Analysis will also be discussed.
Students are required to develop the computer code by using Matlab or other
tools and to obtain the solutions to a few simple geometries of
pacing/sensing leads. On the last day of the workshop, students need to
give a presentation on their findings and submit a written report.
