Job summary

Coloplast invites master's students to join the Master Thesis Program 2027 in Humlebæk to explore high-pressure polymer modelling. You will work within the Simulation Team on virtual prototyping and advanced material models to predict long-term behavior under localized stresses.

The project involves data collection, model calibration, and optimization, aiming to deliver practical guidelines for stable polymer interfaces and lifecycle performance in healthcare devices.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Finite Element Methods (e.g. course 41525/41815 at DTU).
• Strength of material II (41502 at DTU, or similar).
• Programming experience with Matlab, Fortran, or Python.

Responsibilities

• Develop finite element models describing creep, stress relaxation and deformation in contact zones.
• Calibrate and validate models using material characterization and contact experiments.
• Evaluate design parameters to maintain load paths and limit creep at high-pressure contacts.
