(Closed) PhD position on multi-scale modeling of cardiac growth & remodeling

Context Living tissues are made of highly complex hierarchical materials, with a large number of biochemical/biophysical mechanisms interacting at various spatial and temporal scales. This complexity can be addressed through modern modeling and simulation methods (e.g., multi-physics coupling, homogenization, model reduction, etc.), in close interaction with experimental assays. This leads Continue Reading(Closed) PhD position on multi-scale modeling of cardiac growth & remodeling

(Closed) PhD position on multi-scale modeling of muscle contraction

PhD opening: Multi-scale modeling of muscle contraction - From stochastic dynamics of molecular motors to continuum mechanics, in interaction with experimental assays Context Striated muscles (i.e. skeletal and cardiac muscles) are made of a multi-scale active biological material, capable of transforming metabolic energy into mechanical work. This thermodynamic conversion is Continue Reading(Closed) PhD position on multi-scale modeling of muscle contraction

Jona Joachim joins MΞDISIM

Jona is taking one year off his medical training as anesthesiology resident at AP-HP to prepare a Master’s Degree in clinical research. He joins MΞDISIM to help calibrate cardiovascular models with clinical data obtained from healthy volunteers and continue the development of vascular models for non-invasive pressure estimation. Welcome Jona!

Cemracs 2016 co-organized by Philippe Moireau

The Cemracs is a scientific event of the SMAI (the french Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics) scientific which aims to bring together scientists from both the academic and industrial communities during 6 weeks at CIRM in Luminy (Marseille, France). The Cemracs 2016 (July 18th - August 26th) is devoted this year to numerical challenges Continue ReadingCemracs 2016 co-organized by Philippe Moireau

Federica Caforio joins MΞDISIM as a PhD student

After a Master's Degree in mathematical modelling and simulation for biomedical applications at the University of Trento (Italy) and two internships at the WIAS Institute in Berlin, Federica Caforio is just starting her PhD with MΞDISIM. She will work on mathematical and numerical modelling of elastic waves propagation in the Continue ReadingFederica Caforio joins MΞDISIM as a PhD student

Alexandre Laurin joins MΞDISIM as a post-doctoral fellow

Alexandre comes to us following his PhD in aerospace physiology at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. His research deals mostly with seismocardiography: the measurement of chest vibrations due to the beating heart. With any luck, he’ll soon be spinning off the team’s work into real world applications. Welcome Continue ReadingAlexandre Laurin joins MΞDISIM as a post-doctoral fellow
