An interview with Associate Professor Hitomi Anzai of the Institute of Fluid Science has been featured in “The Romance of Research,” a special website highlighting researchers at Tohoku University.
The article explores her research, ranging from computer simulations of blood flow to AI-based modeling and the use of “virtual patients” in medical device development. She also shares her thoughts on research, experiences in international collaboration, and glimpses into her life outside the laboratory.
We invite you to read the full interview.
