This position offers an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to contribute to the advancement of
patient-specific computational modelling of skin growth
for applications in breast reconstruction.
The successful candidate will lead the development of
high-fidelity finite element models
to investigate surface wave propagation in soft biological tissues, forming the foundation for subsequent
statistical and machine learning frameworks
that integrate experimental and computational datasets.
The overarching objective of this work is to establish
predictive, patient-specific models
capable of forecasting clinical outcomes in breast reconstruction, thereby contributing to the broader goal of personalizing reconstructive surgical planning.
PD1 Salary: €46,305 - €52,863 per annum
