Rate My Professor Boyce Griffith

Griffith's research specializes in computational and applied mathematics for simulating cardiovascular physiology, focusing on fluid-structure interaction, extensions of the immersed boundary method, cardiac electrophysiology, electro-mechanical coupling, heart valves, atrial fibrillation, thrombosis, and cardiovascular medical devices. His group develops physiological models through collaborations with clinicians, engineers, and computational scientists. Key publications include 'Immersed methods for fluid-structure interaction' (Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020, with N. A. Patankar), 'Simulating cardiac fluid dynamics in the human heart' (PNAS Nexus, 2024), 'Electrophysiology' (Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2013, with C. S. Peskin), and the book chapter 'Computer modeling and simulation of heart valve function and intervention' (Principles of Heart Valve Engineering, 2019). Griffith maintains the open-source IBAMR software for high-performance immersed boundary simulations. His contributions have earned the 2025 Langtangen Prize for advancing numerical simulation technology, NSF CAREER Award (2017), Kurt O. Friedrichs Prize for Outstanding Dissertation (2006), Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (2000–2004), and over 6,900 citations per Google Scholar.
