Summer School on "Modeling and Computation in Biomechanics"

A one-week Summer School on "Modeling and Computation in Biomechanics" will take place in Graz, Austria, in September 15-19, 2008. The aim of the Summer School is to present a state of-the-art introduction to biomechanical modeling and computation at different length scales. The emphasis s on the nonlinear behavior embracing models of molecular dynamics, single filaments, etwork structures, the cytoskeleton and the nucleus. Multiscale models and ontinuum models for soft tissues including arteries, aortic valves, cartilage and the cornea will also be presented.

PhD Position: Solid Mechanics/Biomechanics at KTH-Stockholm

A four to five-year PhD position focusing on the analysis of multi-scale phenomena in diseased blood vessels including atherosclerotic plaques has recently been opened at KTH Solid Mechanics. The position is fully supported by the Swedish Research Council.
