Gaspard Deremble
Former Intern (Dec 2025 - Mar 2026)
Next Position: Student at École Polytechnique
Gaspard Deremble is a student at École Polytechnique and a former intern at the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides (LMS). During his 3-month internship, he focused on computational biomechanics and the development of advanced numerical tools for soft tissue modeling.
Internship Overview
Project: Development of meshing tools and FE simulations for corneal mechanics
Gaspard’s work centered on expanding the laboratory’s computational capabilities by developing a package built upon the dolfin_mech Python library. His primary focus was on modeling the complex material properties of the cornea.
His core contributions included:
- Computational Tool Development: Contributing to a custom Python package based on
dolfin_mechto streamline biomechanical modeling workflows. - Advanced Meshing: Utilizing Gmsh to build and adapt simplified 3D meshes specifically designed for human corneal geometry.
- Finite Element (FE) Simulations: Running simulations to investigate how a gradient in material parameters across the thickness of the cornea impacts the resulting mechanical stress and strain fields.
