Bioengineering Application Developer at Wolfram

I started working as Bioengineering Application Developer for Mathematica in the Wolfram company. Several weeks ago I was contacted by the Numerical Computation group of Wolfram offering me a fixsed term internship to work on computational models for biological tissues. It is a division of the Research and Development department and my position is about finite element modeling (FEM) applied Read more…

Diary of a thesis abroad – Part III

This is my diary about my period abroad to develop my master’s thesis work on Vascular Biomechanics at the KTH Solid Mechanics department. I will tell the whole period in several articles, let’s continue with November. You can also read the previous article of October here. Week 9 October 31st, today is Halloween. It’s not such a heartfelt party here, neither for Read more…

CS50 – Computer science and the art of programming

I have just completed the CS50 course named “CS50x – CS50’s Introduction to Computer Science” from Harvard held on the edX online platform. edX edX is an online course provider created by Harvard and MIT. It hosts several courses at a level like a university for a wide range of disciplines. They follow a precise approach for teaching: The general Read more…

Visitor to the soft tissue mechanics lab

During my stay in the KTH Solid Mechanics department I had the opportunity to visit the soft tissue mechanics laboratory and to try an uniaxial tensile test on tissue from a porcine aorta. I had the opportunity to participate in several experiments held by trainee Joey Wollfs. He is currently involved in some experimental activities in testing vascular tissues under Read more…

Diary of a thesis abroad – Part I

This is my diary about my period abroad to develop my master’s thesis work on Vascular Biomechanics at the KTH Solid Mechanics department. I will tell the whole period in several articles, let’s start with September. I had the opportunity to go abroad to prepare my master’s thesis project. The project started from a deep interest in the mechano-chemo-biological behavior Read more…

Biomechanics Summer School

I finished my experience in the Summer School entitled “Computational Tissue Biomechanics: From in-vitro experiment to computational analysis“. The course introduces and applies state-of-the-art tools in the continuum mechanical analysis of biological tissues. It is designed for master students and PhD students having a decent background in mechanical engineering and solid mechanics. Furthermore, the course integrates theoretical, numerical, and experimental Read more…
