Paris, Île-de-France INRIA Temps plein

Context and Benefits of the Position

Inria International Relations Department offers postdoctoral positions to support international collaborations. The postdoctoral contract will last between 12 to 24 months. The default start date is November 1st, 2024, and not later than January 1st, 2025. The postdoctoral fellow will be recruited by one of the Inria Centres in France, but it is recommended that the time is shared between France and the partner's country. The postdoctoral fellow has to start his/her contract being in France, and the visits have to respect Inria rules for missions.

Mission Objectives

Candidates for postdoctoral positions are recruited after the end of their Ph.D. or after a first post-doctoral period. The date of the Ph.D. defense shall be later than September 1, 2022, for candidates who obtained their PhD in the Northern hemisphere, and later than April 1, 2022, in the Southern hemisphere. The postdoctoral position must take place in a scientific environment that is truly different from the one of the Ph.D. (and, if applicable, from the position held since the Ph.D.). Particular attention is thus paid to French or international candidates who obtained their doctorate abroad.

Main Activities

The heart is a double pump whose purpose is to deliver blood to the tissue and organs of the body. This function is made possible through the opening and closing of the heart valves. Cardiac diseases generally manifest by affecting the pumping function of the heart. Numerical simulations of cardiac hemodynamics, in normal and pathological conditions, are recognized as a tool of paramount importance for improving the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac pathologies, and also for the development of implantable devices.

The numerical simulation of cardiac hemodynamics presents many difficulties. We can mention, for instance, the large deformation of the cardiac chambers and the complex fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena between blood, the valves, and the myocardium. Heart valves are definitely a bottleneck of the problem, particularly due to their fast dynamics and the contact phenomena at high pressure-drops. In order to mitigate the computational complexity of multi-physic problems, several reduced modeling approaches have been proposed in the literature.

Research Program

The proposed research activity aims at developing and analyzing efficient numerical methods for the alternative mathematically sound reduced valve modeling approach, based on a constrained velocity formulation of the fluid problem with a penalty formulation. To this purpose, numerical methods based on Lagrange multipliers or on Nitsche-type techniques will be explored in the framework of an interface problem for incompressible viscous flow.

Numerical simulations will be performed in academic examples and realistic geometries of the heart. The computer implementations will be performed with the FreeFem++ and the FELiScE finite element libraries.

Framework

The selected candidate will join the COMMEDIA project-team and work in the framework of the IMFIBIO Associated Team (Inria-UCL). Besides the natural collaboration with the UCL partner (Erik Burman), the post-doctoral activity will also involve a collaboration with Alexandre Ern (SERENA project-team).

The postdoctoral fellow will visit the UK partner, at least, 2 months per year (1 month per semester).

Requirements

Candidates must hold a doctorate in applied mathematics and have some experience in the following fields: mathematical modeling, mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, discretization of PDEs, finite element methods.

Technical Skills: C++ programming.

Languages: English.

Interpersonal skills: ability to work in a team.
