Toward soft fluidic circuits that control the beating of a soft artificial heart:

Work Activities:


The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is seeking a Postdoc who will work together with the Holland Hybrid Heart (HHH) consortium on the design, fabrication and analysis of an artificial soft heart.

The HHH consortium is a partnership between Erasmus MC, Eindhoven University of Technology, AMOLF, UTwente, Saxion, TU Delft, and several business partners.

The consortium was awarded a 10M € grant by the Nederlandse Wetenschapsagenda.

The HHH consortium aims in the next 7 years to conduct the necessary fundamental research, including the first chronic animal trials, to produce a soft artificial heart.

The goal of the consortium is to mimic the natural contraction of the heart as much as possible, by generating a pulsatile flow, and coating the inside of the heart with a tissue-engineered lining.

Our consortium acknowledges that this multidisciplinary project will only be successful if we work closely as a team.

Within the HHH consortium, your focus will be on controlling the beating of the HHH.

You will explore how previously proposed pneumatic circuits can be used with liquids to transform a continuous inflow from a hydraulic pump into pulsating output that will activate the soft artificial muscles in the heart.

The goal is to design soft fluidic circuits that, together with the soft artificial heart, will passively adapt to variations in physiological conditions (e.g., blood pressure) without the direct need for electronic sensing.

To design such a fluidic circuit capable of passively adjusting to changing physiological conditions, you will also contribute to a numerical system model based on the electronic-fluidic analogy.

You will use measured data from the artificial heart in these simulations. Further validation of the model will be done by comparing the results with mock-loop experiments performed within the consortium.

In general, there will be active collaboration with researchers in the Soft Robotic Matter Group and within the Holland Hybrid Heart consortium.
