Osteoporosis (OP), a skeletal disease making bone mechanically deteriorate and easily fracture, is a global public health issue due to its high prevalence. It has been well recognized that besides bone loss, microarchitecture degradation plays a crucial role in the mechanical deterioration of OP bones, but the specific role of microarchitecture in OP has not been well clarified and quantified from mechanics perspective.
Based on the theory of composite mechanics, a three-pillar framework “bone mass-microarchitecture-tissue property” instead of “bone mass-bone quality”, is proposed to quantitively characterize the mechanical deterioration of osteoporotic cancellous bones related to the three aspects, and accordingly the individual and integrative influences of bone mass, microarchitecture and tissue property on the mechanical properties of cancellous bones are investigated via the μCT-based finite element method (
We currently have a postdoctoral research position available in the Injury Biomechanics Laboratory at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA. This position involves the development of high-fidelity finite element head models and the design of computational studies to advance our understanding of blast and impact-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI).
We currently have one postdoctoral research position available in the Injury Biomechanics Laboratory at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA. This position involves the development of high-fidelity finite element head models and the design of computational studies to advance our understanding of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI). A Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanics, or related field is required.
The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational biomechanics with applications to ocular biomechanics. The postdoctoral scholar will be involved in an R01 funded project to study the relationship between the structure and mechanical properties of the optic nerve head tissues and remodeling with glaucoma. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves long-standing collaborations between the Nguyen Lab and world-renowned glaucoma clinician-scientists at the Wilmer Eye I
