PhD in Computational Mechanics

Design next-generation patient-specific shoulder implants using finite element analysis and topology optimization. Join a multidisciplinary PhD project at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TU Delft in Delft, Netherlands. The project develops a computational framework using medical imaging to extract patient-specific loading conditions, build high-fidelity finite element models, optimize architected internal implant structures for stiffness, strength and fatigue life, and fabricate and validate designs through mechanical testing. The position is part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (Horizon Europe) offering structured training, network-wide schools and mandatory international secondments./nLocation: Delft, Netherlands/nFaculty: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (TU Delft)
