The Biomechanicsarea encompasses the study of biofluid dynamics and the design and analysis of orthopedic implants and scaffolds. Mathematical modeling, numerical or computer simulation, experimental analysis and biofluid and/or structural optimization are investigated.

The research in biofluid dynamics includes, for example, the numerical study of the relationship between hemodynamics and thrombus training in abdominal aortic aneurysms, the numerical and experimental study of flow patterns and pressures in arteries, the study of the influence of hemodynamic and geometric parameters during hepatic radioembolization, and the design of catheters.

On the structural side, work is being done on implants, prostheses and orthopedic scaffolds to treat complex bone defects. For this purpose, the mechanical behavior of cellular materials is studied, which are porous Structures that are gaining interest thanks to the developments in Additive Manufacturing. It should be noted that the team has a metal 3D printer with which to manufacture customized implants.
