Modelling, Designing, and Optimizing Pasta
The Traverso Lab at Brigham & Women's Hospital (Harvard Medical School) is focused on the development of commercializable products and technologies. One of our current interests is in leveraging computational and experimental methods to develop novel food products. We are seeking motivated and independent students to join our lab for their master's thesis. Students will be expected to develop competent physical models, simulate fluidics and mechanics, perform rheological tests, and validate theoretical models with experiments. Experience in these areas is beneficial but not necessary. We aim to recruit students with creativity, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work collaboratively on a team of interdisciplinary scientists and engineers.
We have openings for one SiROP student to join this project for their master's thesis for a 12-month position with flexible start dates. The student will work with an interdisciplinary team at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For the last six months, the position will be paid at $2500 USD/month; for the first six months, students are encouraged to apply for external scholarships/fellowships.
Students with experience or an interest in the following areas are encouraged to apply:
- Computational science and modelling
- Material science and engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Fluids
- Mechanics
- Structures
- Rheology
- Optimization
- Topology
- Product design
- 3D Modelling
- Additive manufacturing

We aim to combine computational and experimental approaches to develop novel food products that can be manufactured at scale. Short-term goals for the project are the publication of a journal paper and a patent filing. Long-term goals for the project is commercialization of developed products.
