Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), China & Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel.
The Mechanical Engineering and Robotics Program (group of Zhujiang Wang) is looking for one PhD and two Master students to conduct research projects in lightweight lattice structures related to 3D printed medical devices.
Modern additive manufacturing technology allows fabricating lattice structures with complex topologies, and such structures have been applied widely in aerospace engineering and biomedical engineering etc. For the applications of lattice structures in biomedical engineering, designing graded lattice structures with desired properties is challenging. Our group develops automatic lightweight lattice structure generation methods (ALLSGM) and exploring the application of the ALLSGM in fabricating 3D printed medical devices, such as 3D printed shoe soles for caring diabetic foot ulcers, 3D printed bone scaffolds and implants, etc.
Additive manufacturing; lattice structures; finite element analysis; 3D printed medical devices; personalized medical devices; 3D printed shoes; 3D printed implants; 3D printed bone scaffolds
