Description
Motivation and application domain
Central serus chororetinopathy leads to detachment of the retina from the choroid that arises from impaired posterior segment drainage, usually associated with scleral thickening.
General objectives and main activities
To develop a mathematical model that accounts for the main ingredients occurring in central serus chororetinopathy and to explain the mechanics behind it.
Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
Develop a simple mathematical model of fluid and solutes transport across the sclera and the choroid.
Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: DICCA
