The University of Guelph invites applications for a Master of Applied Science (MASc) position in Engineering Biomechanics, starting before September 1, 2025. This collaborative project involves the School of Engineering and the Ontario Veterinary College and is led by Dr. Stephen Mattucci, with collaborators Dr. William Hawker and Dr. Scott Brandon.
Project Overview:
The research focuses on the design of a high-fidelity, 3D printed canine tibia model for biomechanical testing. This work will advance veterinary orthopedic research by enabling anatomically accurate, patient-specific bone models using 3D printing—an approach that has seen success in human medicine but remains underutilized in veterinary contexts.
Eligibility Requirements:
Interested candidates should email the following to Dr. Stephen Mattucci at smattucci@uoguelph.ca:
