This PhD project focuses on the development of mathematical models to study mechanical stress patterns in plant tissues during growth, including their effects on processes like seed germination and pathogen invasion. The candidate will work with experimentalists to integrate computational models with biological insights, contributing to the interdisciplinary field of mechanobiology. The project is part of the GreenTE program, which fosters collaboration in plant science. Candidates should be skilled in numerical modeling and programming, and be ready to teach at MSc and BSc levels.
