This position offers an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to contribute to the advancement of patient-specific computational modelling of skin growth for applications in breast reconstruction. The successful candidate will lead the development of high-fidelity finite element models to investigate surface wave propagation in soft biological tissues, forming the foundation for subsequent statistical and machine learning frameworks that integrate experimental and computational datasets.

The overarching objective of this work is to establish predictive, patient-specific models capable of forecasting clinical outcomes in breast reconstruction, thereby contributing to the broader goal of personalizing reconstructive surgical planning.
