My research is about impact factors on the thrombogenicity of surfaces for blood-bearing medical devices, especially the surface charge/zetapotential. I joined the yESAO team last year (2022) after participating two times and enyoing it a lot!

My dissertation deals with surface functionalisation of cochlear implants using electrospun superhydrophobic drug-releasing surfaces and SLIPS systems to avoid unwanted connective tissue overgrowth. During the yESAO I am looking after our new members in the Buddy Programme.
Core Team
My research focuses on the development and preclinical testing of rotodynamic blood pumps as well as the study of Fontan physiology. Together with Jana Korte I was coordinating the yESAO 2022/23 and I am beyond excited to see you all at the upcoming conferences!

The main aim of my PhD is the design of new 3D liver in vitro models based on hydrogels and hepatic cell culture. These models can be used in a variety of strategies: disease modelling, drug screening or personalised medicine. This is my second year being part of the yESAO core team. In 2022 I attended yESAO and it has been one of my best experiences during my PhD!
Core Team
My research topic is the development of artificial blood substiutes with adaptable mechanical and rheological properties. I joined the CoreTeam in 2022 and I take care of our new webinar series and the pitch session.
Core Team
My work is all about patient-specific numerical simulations and their optimization, leading to an as realistic as possible hemodynamic analysis. I was coordinating the yESAO 2022/23 together with Andreas Escher and looking forward to meeting you all at the upcoming conferences!

Nobody really understands hemostasis and thrombosis in it’s full extent, and I am certainly no exception. But I am trying to find workarounds at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen to create artificial lung and heart support without this issue, to allow for long term support for critical patients
Core Team
The aim of my PhD project is to develop an in silico - in vitro cardiovascular simulator implementing 3D anatomical models for medical device testing. My mission as a yESAO CoreTeam member is to boost your networking skills while having fun! Cardiovascular Sciences- Cardiac Surgery Unit, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

My field of expertise is platelet activation in dynamic in vitro tests. My research aim is a systematic study of the interaction between platelets and surface topographies concerning reducing platelet adhesion on artifical matierials. I am happy to welcome the yESAO in Aachen this year!
Core Team
My research concerns manufacturing techniques applied to Titanium alloys and Magnesium alloys for bone-contacting implants. I am really happy to give my contribution within the Buddy Program, workshops and social activities of the yESAO Congress 2023!
Core Team
My research is about the development of a Total Artificial Heart, where I focus on the mechanical design, in-vitro testing and physiologic control. I joined the yESAO team in 2020 and strongly enjoy the scientific and personal interaction of encouraged scientists.
Core Team
My research is about the improvement of an in vivo cell probe for the isolation of circulating tumor cells. This includes the development of test stands, fluorescence microscopy, blood experiments and cell-repellent nanostructuring. The yESAO in Bergamo motivated me to join the Core Team in 2024.
Core Team
My research is about the analysis of hemolysis in blood contacting medical devices. I study hemolysis under various shear conditions and am developing a transparent and traceable blood model with equal rheological behavior as human blood. I joined the yESAO in 2020 and I am very grateful for the scientific exchange and a lot of fun with this team.

My research focuses on microprinting as a tool for creating biomimetic interfaces that minimize platelet adhesion while promoting endothelial cell coverage. Now in my second year as a yESAO member, I am thrilled to join the core team and contribute further to this incredible community!

As a member of the CARE Team at the Medical University of Vienna, Department of Cardiac Surgery, I contribute to research on monitoring and control algorithms for implantable blood pumps. Our work focuses on utilizing pump parameters to monitor the hemodynamic status of LVAD patients and, based on this, control the LVAD to achieve favorable cardiac mechano-energetics and physiological regulation. We employ in-silico simulations, in-vitro hybrid mock circulatory loop measurements, and preclinical validation in a novel chronic animal model.

I'm working on the development of an artificial placenta system for pre-term neonates that integrates both lung and kidney support in a single device. I'm happy to join the team as a local organizer for the yESAO congress 2025!
