Toward rational algorithmic design of collagen-based biomaterials through multiscale computational modeling

Submitted by Jingjie Yeo on

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coche.2019.02.011 We review the most recent developments in multiscale computational modeling of collagen-based biomaterials to determine their structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties. Through the materials-by-design paradigm, these developments may eventually lead to rational algorithmic recipes for bottom–up multiscale design of these biomaterials, thereby minimizing the experimental costs of iterative material synthesis and testing.

Multiscale Modeling of Silk and Silk‐Based Biomaterials—A Review

Submitted by Jingjie Yeo on

https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201800253 In celebration of Stern Family Professor of Engineering David L. Kaplan, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, we review a selection of relevant contributions of computational modeling to understand the properties of natural silk, and to the design of silk-based materials, especially combined with experimental methods.

Searching for a postdoctoral position in biomaterials

Submitted by Anna Dolgran on

Dear imechanicans,

I am seeking for a postdoctoral position in the field of biomaterials. I am interested in the mechanical behaviour of natural systems and the development of new materials. I just finished my PhD on the mechanics of crotch and would like to continue my study in the field of biomechanics/biomaterials. I am highly motivated and well organized.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!
