We’re launching a new edition of the "Finite Element Analysis Applied to Life Sciences" course. A hands-on FEA training for biomechanics, biology and biomedical research.
🗓️Dates: Jan 19, 21, 23, 28 & 30 + Feb 4, 2026.

Congratulations to my student Dr. Matheo López-Pachón on earning his PhD at @urv.cat
Your interdisciplinary work applying #CFD to understand suction-feeding in salamanders is stunning! Proud of your dedication and scientific rigor.

Brand new paper about meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social offering both practical guidance and structured comparison of meshing techniques in #CFD

Tomorrow Friday at the #sebconference @sebiology.bsky.social I will be talking in the Open Biomechanics session about a new state-of-the-art computational biomechanics workflow to elucidate the kinetic nature of lizards during biting including suture and kinesis.

We have a poster with @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social @laiagarto.bsky.social in #sebconference @sebiology.bsky.social about nanoindentations in Gallotia skulls. Come and visit us!

Looking for postdoc candidates interested in #morphology #biomechanics #FEA to join a project on lepidosaur cranial kinesis in biology and engineering with me and @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social. Great opportunity to dive into state-of-the art interdisciplinary research!

With @tpuschel.bsky.social we wrote this text on #FEA models in #biomechanics: Models aren’t reality, just tools for specific questions. Comparing different models outside their context? Like apples & oranges. 📓Read more 👇

We with @fortunypaleobio.bsky.social are presenting our last work in #PalAss24 using combined computational models in lizards to study cranial kinesis in Gallotias. #FEA #Musculoskeletal #Biomechanics

You can find in @peerj.bsky.social a review of non-linear Finite Element Analysis #FEA that can be helpful in #Anthropology #EvolutionaryStudies #Paleontology #Zoology and #Biomechanics

Are you interested in learning about how engineering and physics can be applied to study the motions of #plants, #invertebrates, and #animals? Here's a non-exhaustive list of Comparative Biomechanists to get started! 🦋 🐟 🦎 🌿 🧪

Apologies for any that I may have been missed.

We recently published something that can be useful: A new biomechanical approach to model cranial sutures using contact elements in linear and nonlinear Finite Element Models #FEA #biomechanics in a Niloticus crocodile skull
