• Computer models of microvessels.
  
  
• Structural adaptation in vascular networks.
  
  
• Simulation of individual vascular cells and groups of cells.

My primary research interest is the interaction between structure and function of the body's smallest blood vessels and arterial blood pressure.

• How does blood pressure influence the structure of the smallest blood vessels and, conversely, how does the microcirculation influence the size of the arterial blood pressure?
  
  
• How does the body ensure that the microcirculation continuously can meet the changing needs of the tissue?

I work with models of flow is regulated in the tissues and with models of how the microcirculation (the body's smallest blood vessels) affects the arterial blood pressure. In addition, I work with models of the cells that make up the wall of the small blood vessels; how such cells respond to external and internal stimuli and how they communicate and synchronize. All projects are carried out in collaboration with other researchers and students.
