PhD students and Post Doctoral scientists positions are available at MOX-Politecnico di Milano in the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant project iHEART "An integrated Heart Model for the simulation of the cardiac function" (2017-2022), P.I. Alfio Quarteroni. Positions are available from October 1st 2017 on.
The goal of the iHEART project is to construct, mathematically analyze, numerically approximate, computationally solve, and validate on clinically relevant cases a mathematically-based integrated heart model for the human cardiac function. The integrated model comprises several core cardiac models – electrophysiology, solid and fluid mechanics, microscopic cellular force generation, and valve dynamics – which are then coupled and finally embedded into the systemic and pulmonary blood circulations. It is a multiscale system of Partial Differential Equations and Ordinary Differential Equations featuring multiphysics interactions among the core models.
