Project Description
Oxford Brookes' team led by Olga Barrera has developed codes for statistical characterization of architectural features of soft tissue (focus on the knee meniscus) from advanced imaging. The aim of this MSc by Research project is to generate simplified artificial microstructures - using AI techniques such as Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL) - exhibiting the same statistical distribution of physical parameters (porosity, size of collagen channels, tortuosity path of the channels, pore connectivity) as the native tissue.
Modelling the behaviour of these artificial microstructures under a range of physiological loading conditions practiced by soft tissue (focus on meniscus on which we have broad data) will help generate data in silico for prediction of material parameters and generate valuable information for the development of biomaterials aimed at designing soft tissue substitute/ repair systems. One potential solution is Collagen-located foam which represents a promising material for hard and soft tissue regeneration.
Requirements
   » practice with advanced imagining techniques
   » practice in programming languages such as MATLAB and Python
   » practice in machine/deep learning algorithms
   » expertise in biomechanics
   » practice with CFD/ Finite Element
