EU RESEARCH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME: Innovative Training Network “DECODE” (H2020-MSCA-ITN-956470)
A position for a PhD candidate is open at the University of Patras in Greece, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics & Vibrations Lab.
The PhD candidate will explore the deployment of drug coated balloons (DCB), the delivery mechanism of DCB to arteries of heterogeneous/anisotropic tissue
composition comprising healthy tissue, as well as regions of fibrous, fibro-fatty, calcified and necrotic core lesions, using the Finite Element Method and developing
a computational model that simulates the delivery process and its dependence on process parameters. The successful candidate will be co-supervised at the development
of a computational model that aims to achieve the abovementioned interaction between the drug-coated balloon and the human arterial tissue.
