Postdoc in Real-Time Computational Biomechanics

About us

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The  Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust ( SnT ) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.

We play an instrumental role in Europe by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We look for researchers from diverse academic backgrounds to contribute to our projects in areas such as : Network Security, Information Assurance, Model-driven Security, Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, and ICT Services & Applications.

Your role

You will join the Legato group, recognised internationally as a leading team in computational mechanics and surgical simulation, and work in tight collaboration with ARSPECTRA, world leader in medical AR glasses and navigation platforms. The focus of this position is the development of real-time, trustworthy biomechanical simulations for brain and skull, suitable for deployment on ARSPECTRA devices.

You will work at the interface between finite-element modelling, software engineering and embedded / edge computing.

Key Responasbilities :

• Develop and optimise finite-element models, e.g. Poisson, linear elasticity, large-deformation soft tissue, for real-time execution on AR devices and GPUs
• Implement these models within open-source frameworks such as SOFA, FEniCSx and SOniCS; experience with SOFA is a strong plus
• Design adaptive, error-controlled strategies that balance accuracy and speed under strict real-time constraints
• Benchmark and profile performance on ARSPECTRA hardware in collaboration with their engineering team
• Contribute to open-source code, demonstrators and joint publications with ARSPECTRA and clinical partners
