OBJECTIVE
I am expert in Biomechanical Engineering
WORK EXPERIENCE
University of Twente Institute, Enschede, Overijssel Netherlands
Masters Thesis Project 07/2010 - 04/2011
Title: To develop a mathematical model that calculates fluid flows within tissue engineering scaffolds and to integrate the model with an existing model that calculates surface strains due to compression in the same scaffolds.
• Study the existing models related to fluid flow analysis in tissue engineering scaffolds
• Deep study about fluid flow property
• Model extraction for the porose and biomaterial fractions to have a shared nodes and elements.
• Integrate the fluid flow model with the compression analysis model using Matlab software.
• Introduce mechanobiology models to predict the tissue development, whether the developed tissues are bones, cartilage, fibrous connective tissue or cell death.
• With these models tissue development and differentiation within a mechanically stimulated system can be predicted and optimized.
