In silico modeling and optimization soft robotic hearts
Join a multidisciplinary consortium and develop state-of-the-art computational models to explore, optimize, and accelerate the design of an innovative soft robotic heart for HF patients worldwide..
In this project, you will develop, calibrate, and validate computational fluid-structure interaction models that describe the intrinsic mechanical behavior of our designs. You will couple your framework to existing multiscale modeling frameworks of the cardiovascular circulation to study the response of our designs to changing loading conditions and explore numerical optimization techniques to enhance the safety and efficiency of our soft artificial heart designs.
PhD vacancy
Mechanobiology of myocardial tissue
Join us on our quest to unlock the secrets of heart failure and take a deep dive into the microstructural organization and macromechanical behavior of cardiac tissue.
In this project, you will combine advanced optical imaging and biomechanical tissue testing techniques with state-of-the-art human disease modeling platforms to characterize and track the microstructural-to-macromechanical kinetics of growth and remodeling.
