Crystal-inspired architected materials: Nature 565 (2019) & 3-year postdoc position at Imperial College London
We recently presented an original research that uses 3d printing to realise the mimicry of the microstructure observed in crystalline metals to employ crystals’ hardening mechanisms to develop robust and damage-tolerant architected materials (Nature 2019; 565:305 - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0850-3).
PhD position: High rate behaviour and fragmentation of printed metals
Open PhD student position
Research topic: Multiple localization and fracture in printed metallic rings subjected to dynamic expansion
Research project: ERC starting grant - PURPOSE
Institution: University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain)
Torso Model Generation for Simulating Pacemaker Performance
MicroPort develop lifesaving medical products for patients around the world. One of MicroPort’s specialties is in manufacturing cardiac rhythm management devices (CRM) for treating cardiac rhythm disorders and heart failures. The company use Synopsys Simpleware software to model complex pacemaker geometries to better understand patient therapies for conditions such as bradycardia and tachycardia.
