PhD study programme “Biomedical Science and Engineering” @ Aalborg University – Denmark
PhD Stipend Is Available Within The General Study Programme “Biomedical Science And Engineering”.Main Focus Of This Project Is To Investigate The Potential Of ASC For Differentiation,Production And Engineering Of Smooth Muscle Cells.
Job Description:
The PhD stipend is available within the general study programme “Biomedical Science and Engineering”.The project builds upon the stem cell group’s expertise on adipose stem cell (ASC) differentiation. Adipose stem cells can be induced to differentiate into a diverse set of cells. Smooth muscle is important for many body functions and damage or change in smooth muscle morphology often cause degraded tissue function. The focus of this project is to investigate the potential of ASC for differentiation, production and engineering of smooth muscle cells. This includes genetic profiling, protein regulation, cell morphology and contractility assays. The clinical application of the project is primarily in regeneration of smooth muscle, particularly fecal incontinence, and the group has several clinical links. The clinical link is important for the project, and the student may pursue different goals in that context.The PhD project will be supervised by Associate Professor: Jeppe Emmersen Read more
PhD Fellowship in Light Wight Building Structures 2010- Denmark
PhD Fellowship Is Available Within The General Study Programe “Civil Engineering”.PhD Stipends Are Allocated To Individuals Who Hold A Masters Degree.
Job Description:
The PhD stipend is available within the general study programe “Civil Engineering”.
Noise annoyance in dwellings and office buildings is an important problem. The noise transmission between adjacent rooms in a building occurs directly through separating structures as well as over different paths that include flanking building elements. The standard EN 12354 describing a simplified statistical energy analysis (SEA) subsystem approach provides a valuable tool to predict the flanking transmission of air-borne and structure borne sound already in the stage of design. The losses that occur at the junctions, where different building elements are interconnected, play a key role in the EN 12354 standard, since they dominate the sound insulation of flanking paths. However lightweight building structures typically do not meet the requirements for ideal SEA subsystems and therefore applying the EN12354 standard to lightweight building structures may result in imprecise predictions. The objective of the present research project is to obtain a better knowledge of noise transmission for junctions of lightweight building elements and derive more precise prediction models, either as an extension of the SEA approach or based on finite element analysis (FEA). Applicants with theoretical as well as practical experience will be preferred. Read more
