Bringing science to life with ParaView
Visual animations can be transformative to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broad audience.
Hi, I'm Francisco Correia Marques.
I am a Doctoral student at Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, ETH Zürich.
My research interests include Image analysis, Data science and Machine Learning and their applications to unravel bone mechanobiology.
What I Do
Here are a few topics I work on
micro Finite Element Analysis
Run sample-specific simulations to estimate the mechanical signal in 3D bone structures derived from in vivo micro Computed Tomography images.
Image Analysis
Develop scalable automated pipelines to analyse large amounts of histology and in vivo micro Computed Tomography images and extract quantitative relationships with biological relevance.
Bioinformatics
Establish computational pipelines to analyse single-cell protein and gene expression profiles extracted from animal samples.
in silico Modelling of Bone Adaptation
Run sample-specific remodelling simulations to investigate bone adaptation at the tissue level using a validated in silico model based on surface advection.

Leveraging AI to enhance scientific research
The ability to delegate tasks to an assistant that can complete them faster and with improved accuracy frees up mental space to focus on more demanding tasks.
Another take on manuscript writing
Accepting (scientific) writing as an iterative process that takes effort and imagination is a prerequisite to producing a beautiful text we enjoy reading while keeping the scientific rigour we set to ourselves.
