Biomechanical Study of Cellular Solids with Different Pore Architecture for Breast Scaffolds

Shuya Tian is a PhD student at the Centre for Biomedical Technologies at QUT, with a strong focus on regenerative medicine. Her interest in this field began during her master’s project at the University of Queensland, where she worked on SLS printing of biodegradable bone scaffolds for tissue regeneration. Following her master’s, Shuya spent two years in the industry, specializing in 3D printing for orthopedic implants. During this time, she made significant contributions by establishing FDM production lines for trauma implants and patient-specific implants for plastic surgery, as well as drafting industry guidance and patents. Identifying critical gaps in the clinical translation of 3D-printed medical devices, Shuya returned to QUT to join the Regenerative Medicine group and deepen her research in this area. Her current PhD research, supported by the prestigious ARC ITTC for M3D scholarship, focuses on the research of 3D-printed breast scaffolds. Shuya is supervised by Prof. Dietmar W. Hutmacher, Dr. Marie-Luise Wille, and Dr. Sinduja Suresh at QUT.
