Student intake

Open for Bachelor, Honours, Master, PhD students

Status

Potential

The development of hierarchically-structured engineered living materials

The successful candidate will get to leverage to power of biology to create completely artificial engineering living materials that can adapt their structures to the external environment.

Theme

Functional Materials and Interfaces, Physical and Biophysical Chemistry, Soft Matter

Student intake

Open for Bachelor, Honours, Master, PhD students

Status

Potential

The rational design of solid-state vasculature for organ-on-a-chip models

The successful candidate will get to rationally design 3D printed solid-state vasculature for organ-on-a-chip models.
