[Dennis Janssen]

We are looking for a PhD-student to work on one of the knee projects at the Orthopaedic Research Lab of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Job Profile
In collaboration with the orthopaedic industry and international research partners from the UK and USA, the candidate will focus on improving/expanding our finite element (FE) knee model. Our model has been developed to analyze deep knee flexion, while concurrently trying to solve relevant clinical issues. FE modeling work is alternated with experimental (cadaveric) and clinical work. Publications will be submitted to scientific peer-reviewed journals.

Requirements
MSc in Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering with experience in numerical modeling/finite element analysis.

Hi Janssen, I'm Mario Giorgi, a biomedical engineer. I could be interested in this PhD opportunity and that's why i'm contacting you. I had almost one year and a half of experience in research at the European Center for knee research (Smith&nephew) in Leuven (Belgium) where I implemented a Matlab routine for Landmarks identification in the knee for kinematics studies. Now i'm working at the Polytechnic of Turin (Italy) as researcher doing FEM studies on femur bones.
I'm able to you programs like : Abaqus, Matlab, Mimics, Pro-E, 3-Matic and more.
If you could be interest in me or if you just need more info about my skills do not esitate to contact me at: mario.giorgi@polito.it
Best regards
