We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the project MECA-ICTUS, a 3-year project funded under the Generación de Conocimiento 2022 call of Agencia Estatal de Investigación. In MECA-ICTUS we will pursue the development of computational mechanics and machine learning tools for predicting the success of endovascular thrombectomy, an urgent intervention for the removal of thrombi in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

Please take a look at the paper of our PhD student Beatrice Bisighini in Advances in Engineering Software: "EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics". We propose an efficient framework for modelling beam-to-surface contact, specifically designed to model endovascular devices.

The LS2P laboratory (from its French name, Laboratoire des Systèmes Portés par la Personne ) develops non-invasive devices for measuring physiological parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation or blood pressure. A strong integration is a key factor from the design stage of the sensors. This allows them to be integrated into bracelets, patches or headbands to make them compatible with their daily use.

Please check our new article on beam to surface contact modeling, recently accepted in  Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2020.113275 . We have used a previously reported dynamic corotational formulation and added frictional contact terms, which provide a fully consistent formulation.

The Centre Ingénierie et Santé (CIS) – Laboratoire SAnté INgéniérie BIOlogie St-Etienne (SAINBIOSE), part of École des Mines de Saint Étienne (France) is looking for an Assistant Professor in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology to join our research group. The initial position is offered for 1 year and can be renewed depending on the recruired person performance.
