Project: Flexible polymeric pacemaker leads Supervisors: Professor Rylie Green, Dr Fu Siong Ng and Dr Josef Goding. The project will aim to explore fabrication methods for scaled-up manufacturing of novel Conductive Elastomer pacemaker leads and to explore their methods of fixation, analyse robustness of adhesion, assess tissue damage, characterising mechanical and electrical properties, then assessing safety and efficacy with ex vivo and in vivo studies. The leads will be implanted chronically and ability to pace the heart will be assessed along with tissue damage analysis. MRI studies will also be conducted to assess MRI compatibility of the devices. Show less

Applied Machine Learning Days (AMLD) Africa focuses on the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in innovation and sustainable development in African countries, making it a particularly popular event for academia, industry, and business.

Teaching the basics Improvisational theatre classes at different levels and giving corporate workshops training for team building events.

- Coaching student groups for the project of "Design of Mechanisms II" (2023) taught by Prof. S. Henein: the project is about the design of a sensor whose test body is a mechanism with flexible guides with adjustable stiffness, dynamically balanced, dedicated to very high resolution force measurements performed at high speed by robotic micromanipulators.- Coaching student groups for the project of "Design of Mechanisms II" (2022) taught by Prof. S.

- “Smart Gripper”: involved an industrial partner and another EPFL research laboratory; designing and testing of a flexure-based gripper actuated by Shape Memory Alloys for robotic assembly applications.- “Clic-clac”: involved medical and industrial partners; optimization of the design of a flexure-based mechanism and 3D printing of new prototypes made out of resin- “Innotool”: presenting the results of a conducted project for the palpation of the middle-ear ossicles to medical… Show more - “Smart Gripper”: involved an industrial partner and another EPFL research laboratory; designing and testing of a flexure-based gripper actuated by Shape Memory Alloys for robotic assembly applications.- “Clic-clac”: involved medical and industrial partners; optimization of the design of a flexure-based mechanism and 3D printing of new prototypes made out of resin- “Innotool”: presenting the results of a conducted project for the palpation of the middle-ear ossicles to medical and industrial partners- Coordination and logistics of the course “Design of Mechanisms I and II” taught by Prof. S. Henein to all EPFL Microengineering students (Bachelor level, second year of studies). This large teaching with approximately 180 students is based on excathedra lectures with exercise sessions during one semester, followed by a project-based teaching semester: That particular year the project was on the design of a novel flexure-based oscillator to be used as time-base for mechanical watches Show less

- Characterization of the distribution of RF fields in unloaded and loaded (tissue simulating media) MR coils: measurements and simulations- Development of a method to represent a medical implant inside heterogeneous tissues

- Building testbench and prototypes, recording and signal processing of Surface Heart Sound signals- Adapting the future SonR AVD/VVD function, as well as other features for future CRM products by studying and selecting components through a set of requirements defined based on said features' needs

Developing a biosensor that can quickly measure concentrations in patients’ blood plasma of adalimumab. The biosensor targets patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This biosensor was developed as part of the SensUs competition in Eindhoven.
