# Master's thesis in computational modelling of aerosol deposition in respiratory system
**Location:** Parma, IT
## Who we are looking for
Delivering medications in and through the lungs of patients, in the form of inhaled aerosols, is a particularly challenging task as 260K years of natural selection made the lungs a very good filter for particles and droplets spanning several orders of magnitude in size [1]. The complexity comes from many different factors: the self-affine (fractal) structure of the lung airways; the multi-phase nature of the air flow transporting solid particle or liquid droplets; the highly non-linear behaviour of the multi-phase flow; the multi scale nature of turbulence developing in the extra-thoracic airways (mouth/nose, throat and trachea); the size of the aerosol particles spanning a larg...
