Hajar Souhail
Biography
Hajar is a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Liège, having started her training in September 2024 after completing her Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering (Biomechanics and Biomaterials) at Politecnico di Milano earlier that same year.
She carried her master thesis at the Mechanics of Biological and Bioinspired Materials Laboratory (MBBM) at the University of Liège. Her thesis focused on a computational approach based on finite element analysis, combined with a phase field fracture model, to investigate the fracture behavior of brittle bone-substitute ceramics implants following the insertion of fixation screws.
Supported by the Marie Curie ReBone project, Hajar’s PhD research focuses on designing bone inspired scaffolds and biomechanical characterization of the bone-scaffold construct. The project aims to improve the microstructural and biomechanical compatibility of scaffolds by considering the complex environment of host bone tissue.
