Multiscale Modeling of Soft Tissue Mechanics

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU

The Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genoa is offering a post-doc position within the 2-years research project PRIN PNRR 2022 “A digital framework for the cutting of soft tissues: A first step towards virtual surgery” focused on multiscale modeling of the cutting process in soft tissues.
The ideal candidate should have documented scientific experience in computational mechanics, mechanics of materials, and related fields.
The main objective of the project is to develop a constitutive framework in such a way as to combine classical material models for soft tissues with the inherent capabilities of peridynamics to model (possibly evolving) discontinuities.
