Dr. Elisabete Silva is an Assistant Researcher at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Management (INEGI), Portugal, and a Researcher at the Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics (LAETA). She received her BSc in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança in 2010, followed by her MSc and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto in 2012 and 2017, respectively. Her research focuses on the biomechanics of the pelvic floor, with particular interest in stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. She works extensively with magnetic resonance imaging, hyperelastic constitutive modeling, biomechanical simulations, optimization algorithms, and inverse finite element analysis. Her current projects involve the development of biodegradable mesh implants, advanced melt electrowriting techniques, biodegradation studies, drug-eluting coatings, and the design of intravaginal probes.
