Scientific computing engineer: modeling and simulation of cardiac hemodynamics

Scientific computing engineer: modeling and simulation of cardiac hemodynamics

Level of qualifications required : Graduate degree or equivalent

Fonction : Temporary scientific engineer

Assignment

The objective of this research engineering position is to contribute to different modeling and pre-processing steps involved in the development of a computational tool for the 3D numerical simualtion of blood flow in the four cardiac cavities. The main motivation of this work is driven by the simulation of patohological scenarios such as the Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and by numerically assesing different surgicals options. This work will be performed in the framework of theMEDITWIN project, which involves in particular a collaboration beetwen COMMEDIA project-team and Dassault Systèmes.
