sacha cavelier
Sacha studied biomedical engineering (2008-2011) during his BSc at the Ecole des Mines de St Etienne in France. Then, he did a Master of Science (2013-2015) and a PhD (2015-2020) at McGill University, Montreal, Canada where he explored the mechanical performances of bio-inspired materials for biomedical purposes. He developed prototypes of bone grafts made of calcium sulfate and titanium, or calcium sulfate and natural polymers with multilayered structures exhibiting a high resistance to crack propagation. In 2020, he conducted a three-month doctoral internship at the University of Adelaide, Australia, where he investigated the visco-elastic properties of spinal dura mater in both human and animal models. In 2021-2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Ohio University, USA. His research focused on the development and characterization of mineralized collagen scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. He joined the Cells and Tissues Engineering Training Center at QUT in September 2022, and he now investigates the physico-chemical properties of fish cartilage, 3D printed bone implants or antibacterial coatings.
