We value diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Learn about our team here.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement finite element models of biological systems with a focus on electromagnetic (EM) and thermal dynamics in tissue
• Design and simulate coupled multiphysics problems (e.g., EM–thermal interactions, bioelectric phenomena)
• Build subject-specific models by integrating MRI/CT imaging data into high-quality computational meshes
• Perform segmentation, geometry processing, and mesh generation from medical imaging datasets
• Validate models against experimental or clinical data, particularly for EM field distribution and heat transfer in biological media
• Conduct sensitivity analyses and parameter optimization for EM and thermal simulations
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate imaging and modeling outputs into actionable insights
• Clearly document and organize findings for key stakeholders

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Strong expertise in finite element methods (FEM) with emphasis on electromagnetics and heat transfer
• Hands-on experience with FEM tools supporting multiphysics (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS, Abaqus)
• Experience modeling EM fields in biological tissues and associated thermal effects (e.g., RF heating, bioelectric interactions)
• Proficiency in medical image processing and segmentation, particularly MRI-based workflows
• Experience generating meshes from imaging data and working with complex anatomical geometries
• Strong programming skills in Python for simulation workflows and data processing
• Solid understanding of tissue properties, bioelectricity, and thermal transport in biological systems
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to work across disciplines
• Proficient oral, communication, and organizational skills and can work collaboratively within a close team setting
