Computational Biophysics of the Skin

Beschreibung

This book has the ambition to gather, for the first time, chapters describing scientific computing and numerical modeling for a deeper understanding of mechanisms involved in skin physiology. The book is structured around some skin properties and functions, including optical and biomechanical properties, skin barrier function, and homeostasis, covered through several chapters describing either biological or physical models at different scales.

Autor

Bernard Querleux is senior research associate at the Worldwide Advanced Research center of L'Oreal Research & Innovation, France. He obtained his doctorate in electronic engineering and signal processing from the University of Grenoble, France, in 1987 and his habilitation in biophysics from Paris-Sud University, France, in 1995. Since 2005, Dr. Querleux is serving as scientific chairperson of the International Society for Biophysics and Imaging of the Skin. Apart from being an expert in functional brain imaging for the objective assessment of sensory perception, his main research interests concern the development of new non-invasive methods, including numerical modeling for skin and hair characterization.
