• Mines Saint-Étienne, France (2013-)
  – Developing a micro-mechanical modeling for arterial wall tissues

• Vienna University of Technology, Austria (2011-2013)
  – Established universal rules governing the structure and composition of bony tissues
  – Developed a poro-micro-mechanical approach to predict the slow and fast wave velocities of bones
  – Developed a return-mapping algorithm for multiscale, multisurface elasto-plasticity to predict the strength of bones
