Join Veryst at COMSOL Conference 2026 Boston!

Please join us at the COMSOL Conference 2026 Boston where we’ll be presenting a sponsored workshop and posters.

As a platinum sponsor, we will have a booth at the conference and a team of Veryst engineers will be there, ready to talk with you about how we can support your product development with multiphysics simulation, failure analysis, material modeling and testing, and materials engineering.

We hope you'll stop by to say hello!

Tuesday, October 6

• Please join us at our Open House for drinks and light refreshments.
• For details and to RSVP, visit Veryst 2026 Open House

Some details on where you can see us at the conference:

Wednesday, October 7 (Day 1)

• Catch up with us at our booth, during the coffee breaks, or reception.
• 9:45 a.m. Workshop: “Using Multiphysics Simulation to Accelerate Product and Process Development.
  • This workshop will show how Veryst Engineering has helped clients across clean tech, chemical processing, consumer products and electronics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals develop COMSOL Multiphysics® models to solve real product and process development challenges, shorten development timelines, and improve outcomes. Attendees will see case studies covering:
    • Multiphase flow behavior in fluidic and inkjet printing systems
    • Subcutaneous and intravitreal injection
    • Particle processing technology for consistent product quality
    • Thermal management in electronic cooling applications
  • The workshop will emphasize practical workflow — building models validated against physical data, knowing when a model is ready to inform a design decision, and building and defending models that hold up in front of a stakeholder who needs to trust the result. Presented by Dr. Matthew Hancock and Dr. Mike Kuron.

Presenting posters:

• Simulation of Capillary Filling in a Microfluidic Channel — Tianyi Hu, Ph.D. and Matthew Hancock, Ph.D.
  • Prediction of interfacial dynamics and dependence on wettability in COMSOL Multiphysics® guides robust, repeatable design of pump-free microfluidic devices for point-of-care diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip systems, and biomedical applications.
  • Coupled the Laminar Flow interface with the phase-field method and a custom dynamic contact angle boundary condition to resolve the evolving air-water interface and three-phase contact line motion.
  • Varied contact angle from 15° to 85° to quantify its effect on filling dynamics, finding that capillary “fingering” along the channel walls is energetically favorable below ~45° contact angle.
  • Showed that filling time increases exponentially with contact angle and diverges as θ approaches 90°, where the capillary driving force vanishes.

• Multiphysics Simulation of Needle-Based Drug Delivery: Subcutaneous and Intravitreal Injection — Matthew Hancock, Ph.D. and Joseph Barakat, Ph.D
  • Coupled Porous Media Flow, Solid Mechanics, and Transport of Diluted Species interfaces to model interstitial fluid flow, tissue deformation, and drug dispersion during subcutaneous injection.
  • Used Laminar Flow and Transport of Diluted Species interfaces to model intravitreal injection into a viscous vitreous humor analog, predicting bolus shape, delivery time, and intraocular pressure change.
  • Found that needle gauge and injection rate strongly influence bolus geometry, delivery time, and injection force, with experimental validation remaining essential given vitreous viscoelasticity and patient-to-patient tissue variability.

The conference takes place October 7–9, 2026 at the Boston Marriott Burlington.  Learn more at: https://www.comsol.com/conference/boston
