Our meeting with Mark Chaplain, Sandy Anderson, and Steve McDougall in Dundee, Scotland was a great success. We discussed the proper integration and extension of our angiogenesis and tumor growth models, and I think we're going to see some exciting progress! We're looking forward to meeting again in Los Angeles in May!!

John Lowengrub and I are meeting with Dr. Mark Chaplain at the University of Dundee, UK at the end of the month to begin a new collaboration. Among our goals is to improve the modeling of the tumor microenvironment and integrate a model of tumor angiogenesis and blood microcirculation.
Website Redesign

I redesigned the website to better suit my research interests. After a lot of thought, I've decided that I want to focus my work on cancer research in particular, rather than computational fluid mechanics and biomathematics in general. As such, it is my goal to advance the field of computational oncology toward the holy grail of personalized, patient-tailored treatment.
I also took the opportunity to overhaul my style sheet to give the site a sleek, modern look. If you're in the mood for a laugh, take a look at a sample from my old site. I'll probably continue to adjust the color and layout over the next week or two. I'm also updating to the HTML 4.01 Strict standard.
I also threw together a temporary banner using a combination of MS Paint and the GIMP, as I'm still waiting for Stephanie Macklin to finish her banner. I'm giving this disclaimer so that my amateur artwork doesn't reflect poorly on her artistic skills.
Attended a Cancer Modeling Workshop

This week, I've been attending a workshop on modeling cancer and immune therapy at the American Institute of mathematics in Palo Alto, CA. I've had the opportunity to interact with an excellent cross section of the medical, scientific, and mathematical communities, and I've met many fantastic people and potential collaborators.
I also had the chance to give my first workshop talk on cancer modeling and numerical simulations. All videos for the talk (and more) are available for download here.

Our short note, An improved geometry-aware curvature discretization for level set methods: application to tumor growth," has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Computational Physics. A preprint will be available for download soon.
