The objective of the Biomedical Engineering course was, based on the case of the human lung as an emblematic illustration, to make a first exploration of this field by introducing mathematical, physical and numerical models that make it possible to understand the functioning of living systems, then to study the devices that make it possible to measure the living, to establish diagnoses and, if necessary, to provide therapeutics.

Furthermore, the goals of the project my team and I worked on were, first, gaining an understanding of the behavior of human lungs and specially in the case of asthma, through the modeling of the various physico-chemical phenomena of which they are the seat. Secondly, using Python and Matlab to gain an understanding of the dynamics of the air flow in the lung’s bronchus. These tools were used for the visuals that they can give and their precision as well.
