The event will be a perspective talk which will focus on recent advances in the field of soft tissue biomechanics. Olga will present recent findings on the behaviour of the knee meniscus obtained from advanced imaging, experimental tests, and modelling at different scales. Her work is focused on gaining an understanding of structure/function relations of this type of tissue.

The aim of the research is to help with the design of suitable biomimetic replacements, Human-robot interface and control, digital twins and patient-specific care.
