Senior Research Associate
University of Oxford <!– ATTACHED PICTURES:   –>

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Senior Research Associate in Multiphysics Modelling of Brain Health. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team of researchers with the primary aim to understand the impact of age, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases on the brain’s unique form and function. We pose that brain shape changes result from continuously evolving microstructure that may be affected by neurodevelopment, age, degeneration, and injury. We seek to uncover fundamental mechanisms of healthy and accelerated brain aging by coupling neurobiology and mechanics to create multiphysics-informed predictive models of

Millions of years of evolution have enabled some marine animals to grow complex protective shells composed of multiple layers that work together to dissipate physical stress. In a new study, engineers have found a way to mimic the behavior of this type of layered material, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to enhance energy-absorbing systems such as wearable bandages and car bumpers with multistage responses that adapt to collision severity.
