MIE Seminar: Modeling freezing-induced damage in soft materials – aka why can’t we just freeze organs?
March 31, 2026 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
MIE Seminar Series:
Dr. Mrityunjay Kothari, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Hampshire.
“Modeling freezing-induced damage in soft materials – aka why can’t we just freeze organs?”
This seminar presents a thermo mechanically coupled phase field modeling framework that integrates heat transfer, phase change, nonlinear elasticity, and damage mechanics to predict and understand freezing induced tissue damage during cryopreservation.
