About this position

This research contract at the Politecnico di Milano, within the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta” and the LaBS group at the Leonardo Campus in Milan, focuses on the design and assessment of a minimally invasive blood pump for supporting the Fontan circulation.

The project addresses a major unmet need in the treatment of patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease: existing ventricular assist devices are not well matched to the physiology of Fontan circulation. The selected researcher will work on a computationally driven concept for a pulsatile pumping device intended for catheter-based implantation in the venae cavae, with the goal of providing chronic support without additional open-heart surgery.

The research emphasizes the structural design of the pumping system and its interaction with the native cardiovascular environment. A major part of the work concerns finite element simulations of deployment, vessel-wall interaction, and positional stability after implantation. The project also uses simplified lumped-parameter models of the Fontan circulation to study how the pump may alter flow and pressure conditions.

The funded project reference is Engineering the Right Ventricle: Minimally Invasive Fontan Support Pump, and the position is embedded in an applied bioengineering environment with strong computational and cardiovascular modelling content.

Funding details

Total annual cost to the University up to Euro 66,000.00, including administration charges; contract duration is 2 years and the contract is renewable once for a further two years. The post is linked to the funded project "Engineering the Right Ventricle: Minimally Invasive Fontan Support Pump (TEF Call for Ideas for Postdoctoral Research at POLIMI)".
