Description

Research Fellow in Interaction of Short-Pulsed Laser with Biominerals

Are you an experienced and ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a passion to uncover new methodologies for the treatment of load-bearing bones?Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research-intensive Universities?

At the University of Leeds, we are involved in re-engineering of the damaged hard-soft tissue interface, for which we are embarking on a new EU-funded project on laser processing of biominerals on Ti-dental implants and modelling of phase changes, and engineering of a biocompatible photo-active materials for laser based spectroscopic monitoring of healing and infection management in the restored oral tissue and implants.

This is the first of two roles that will work together on the project. The second role is that of Research Fellow in Photo-active Biomineral Engineering for Hard-Soft Tissue Diagnostics (EPSPE1041).

The laser processing of biominerals on Ti-implants is a first step in realising the structure for functionalising the implants for improved osseointegration. This step of manufacturing requires precision processing for control of structure and phase stability. In this research area, sol-gel processed mineral with and without pulsed laser processing for coating of implants will also be explored.

The biominerals before and after will be characterised using number of materials and laser based spectroscopic characterisation for quantification of phosphor activity in dry, oral-fluid simulated, and cell-culture environment.

The long-term goal is to develop a non-invasive or minimally invasive spectroscopic and imaging protocol. For photo-active biomaterials engineering, two techniques will be developed for implant and tissue scaffold engineering.
