MASc/PhD positions in CFD applied to coronary arteries
University of Toronto
The research group of Prof. Piero Triverio at the University of Toronto is seeking a graduate student (MASc or PhD) for a research project in computational fluid dynamics applied to coronary artery disease.
In Canada, about 1 person out of 7 dies because of coronary artery disease. Coronary arteries play a vital role, bringing oxygen-rich blood to the heart, but can become occluded. With graft surgery, new vessels are created to increase blood flow to the heart and
prolong life. However, graft failure is quite common, and we still do not know exactly why grafts fail and, consequently, how to prevent their failure. The project goal is to better understand why graft fails and improve the treatment of coronary artery disease, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. To gain new insights into graft failure, we will use computational fluid dynamics simulations guided by the latest advancements in CT and MRI imaging. The project is in collaboration with a cardiovascular radiologist and a cardiovascular surgeon at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in engineering, applied mathematics, or a field closely related to the project. Experience in computational modeling.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Experience in some of the following areas would be an asset: computational fluid dynamics (FeNiCs, Simvascular, finite elements), cardiovascular simulations, vascular biomechanics,
high-performance computing, medical imaging.

Head Injury Biomechanics - PhD student
University of Utah
Over 650,000 children are victims of abuse and neglect each year. Infants are particularly vulnerable and represent the age group most likely to experience a recurrence of maltreatment if the abuse is not detected. It is also the age group where child abuse is often the most difficult to detect. Linear skull fractures are common in both accidental and abusive head trauma, and a better understanding of the mechanics of pediatric skull fracture may help differentiate between accidental and abusive head trauma. Recently, we used fundamental fracture mechanics to develop a fracture-simulation framework. This framework is capable of predicting infant skull fracture patterns from head impact and, thus, enables exploration of the effect of fall characteristics, such as fall height and impact angle, on skull fracture length and orientation.
We are seeking a PhD student to help us translate this fracture mechanics framework into a patient-specific forensics toolset. To do this, we will first characterize the natural variability of skull thickness across the infant skull in a large dataset of infants. Using uncertainty quantification methods, we will then measure the effect of skull thickness distribution on skull fracture patterns in single events. Finally, we will investigate the propagation of fracture across bone-membrane-bone interfaces.
