Biography

Rémy Benais is a PhD candidate in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino. He obtained a BASc from the University of Waterloo (Canada) in Mechanical Engineering in 2021. There, he also earned a MASc in Mechanical Engineering in 2024, supervised by Prof. Stewart McLachlin. His research focused on computational and experimental evaluation of spinal implants, including the development of a meshless finite element model of trabecular bone damage mechanics. Presently, he is working under Prof. Cristina Bignardi and Prof Alessandra Aldieri in the MSCA InSilicoHealth doctoral network developing finite element models of the spine, creating patient-specific models of the spine and the intervertebral disc from MRI for fracture prediction.
