- experience in atomic force microscopy – imaging and mechanical modes (micro- and nanoindentation, tensile tests) as well as data analysis and interpretation of indentation and other mechanical tests,
- experience in imaging methods such as light microscopy (polarization and fluorescence microscopy, second harmonic generation) and micro computed tomography,
- experience in teaching Tissue Biomechanics in theory (nonlinear continuum mechanics) and application (experimental biomechanics),
- additional knowledge in the fields of biomechanics, bone and mechanical testing.
- Further requested skills: English as native language or proof of at least level B2, CEFR
Further information: For informal discussions please contact Professor Philipp Thurner, pthurner@ilsb.tuwien.ac.at
