A potential PhD/PostDoc position on multiphysics modeling of biological systems will be open for Fall 2023/Spring 2024. Focus will be on rigorous analytical and numerical modeling, and the target application is injury modeling of the brain and related biological tissues. 

Looking for candidates with interest and background in mathematical modeling, numerical linear algebra, numerical methods (FEM or others) and solid mechanics. Interested candidates email resume to shiva dot rudraraju at wisc dot edu

Dear Colleagues, 

We are organizing a mini-symposium on Multiphysics Modeling of Cells and Tissues at the World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2018).

"Multiphysics Modeling of Cells and Tissues (MS 523)"

WCCM 2018 will take place in New York, 22nd-27th of July 2018. Abstract submission is now open and will remain open until December 31, 2017. Information on submitting an abstract can be found at: 

Looking for prospective PhD students with strong background in solid mechanics and numerical methods to join the Computational Mechanics and Multiphysics Group at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Background in modeling contact or contact mechanics is a big plus but not essential.  

The research scope is in the broader areas of mechanics driven multiphysics in morphogenesis/embroyogenesis phenomena (Biophysics) and microstructure evolution in metallic alloys.
