Research interests Dr. Garbey’s research is currently focused on the modeling and simulation of bio-engineering problems, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the understanding of such key issues as cardiovascular disease, growth of cancer tumors, and the dysfunction of the thermo-regulation system. Interdisciplinary by nature, Dr. Garbey’s work involves partnerships with several research teams in TLC2, and research centers in both the U.S. and Europe specializing in medical imaging and bio-applications. Since the numerical simulation of living organisms is complex, non-deterministic and time consuming, Dr. Garbey’s team is currently developing new algorithms for distributed computing and posteriori estimates for code verification.
