Johns Hopkins University:Whiting School of Engineering:
Department of Mechanical Engineering Description
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to help develop a state-of-the-art digital twinin biofluid dynamics. This position lies at the intersection of
Physical AI
, high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics(CFD), and advanced biomedical robotics .
The successful candidate will contribute to the development of twokey components of our virtual testbed:
Together, these capabilities will support the high-throughput,low-latency simulation environment required for training foundationmodels and embodied AI systems for next-generation endovascularrobotic platforms in neurosurgery.
Core Responsibilities- Advance Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI):Develop and expand our GPU-native, sharp-interface immersedboundary CFD framework to enable near-real-time, multi-GPUsimulations of device-flow-clot-wall interactions underphysiologically realistic pulsatile flow conditions.
- Multi-Physics Coupling:Bridge hemodynamics and tissue mechanics by implementing alightweight coupling interface that supports bidirectional forceexchange and geometric constraint handling between asynchronoussolvers.
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering,Engineering Mechanics, or a closely related field.
- Demonstrated expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)modeling.
- Strong background in High-Performance Computing (HPC),including GPU-native solver development (e.g., CUDA) and parallelcomputing.
The referenced salary range is based on Johns Hopkins University'sgood faith belief at the time of posting. The actual compensationoffered to the selected candidate may vary and will be based
