The multidisciplinary institute of Medical and Biological Engineering at the University of Leeds is seeking a PhD applicant to study the effect of bleeding disorders on bone and joints biomechanics. The successful candidate will contribute to computational models of bone and joints, and assess how bone biology is affected by bleeding disorders. They will have a strong background in computational mathematics or engineering. More information available at https://phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1388-an-engineering-approach-to-assess-effect-of-bleeding-on-bone-for-patients-with-bleeding-disorders.

Please contact Dr Marlène Mengoni (m.mengoni@leeds.ac.uk) before applying online.

The LS2P laboratory (from its French name, Laboratoire des Systèmes Portés par la Personne) develops non-invasive devices for measuring physiological parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation or blood pressure. A strong integration is a key factor from the design stage of the sensors. This allows them to be integrated into bracelets, patches or headbands to make them compatible with their daily use. The robustness of the measurement is a key factor in the relevance of these devices. It is obtained thanks to sensor technology and the performance of on-board signal processing algorithms. It also requires a good understanding of the physiology of the person faced with the disturbances encountered in daily life. The design of these devices is based on the development and use of numerical models to simulate the behavior of the human body. The doctoral student will integrate the "pôle avatar numerical" team of the laboratory to study a deformable 3D model of the forearm and its vascular system. Digital signatures will then be defined to assess the influence of the persons position and movements on the dynamics of the vascular system. The results obtained will be validated by the analysis of experimental data. We are looking for a candidate with a solid experience in mechanics and numerical modeling (CFD, FEM). Good programming skills are required and preferably previous experience in the development of computational mechanics tools. Motivation and interest in bioengineering is recommended. Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English is required.
