PhD in Cardiovascular Biomechanics

PhD position to develop and apply in silico models and a digital twin based platform for simulating thrombectomy procedures and improving minimally invasive stroke treatment./nYou will develop virtual patient populations with comprehensive vessel and thrombus characteristics in collaboration with industrial partner InSteps, create a computational device evaluation platform leveraging Delft expertise and simulation capabilities of industrial partner 4RealSim, and integrate these into a unified simulation environment for in silico clinical trials in collaboration with clinical partners from the Erasmus Medical Center./nYou will be based in the CardioVascular Biomechanics Section (https://www.tudelft.nl/me/over/afdelingen/biomechanical-engineering/research/cardiovascular-biomechanics), a research group within the BioMechanical Engineering Department at Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands. Supervisors: Prof. Frank Gijsen and Dr. Behrooz Fereidoonnezhad.
