PhD, 1st of July 2024 Over the past five years, I’ve led and contributed to interdisciplinary efforts to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease, uniting bioelectronics, biomaterials, microfluidics, and diagnostics across engineering disciplines. Most recently, I focused on soft materials, hydrogels and composites, for bioelectronics, using clean-room fabrication, bioprinting, and two-photon lithography to build conductive hydrogels […]

PhD, 1st March 2023 Elif Kurt obtained her masters degree in chemical engineering from Middle East Technical University, Turkiye. During this period, she studied liquid crystal microcapillary-based optical sensors. She is currently interested in combining the non-linear mechanics of the mechanical metamaterials with stimuli-responsive liquid crystal materials for developing new actuation strategies and design structures
PhD, 9th January 2023 Tom Bruining is a chemical engineer with a master’s degree in molecular systems and materials chemistry from the Eindhoven University of Technology. He is interested in creating liquid crystal based stimuli responsive surfaces that can change their texture to provide haptic feedback. These surfaces have applications in virtual reality and augmented
