Research area
The aim of my project is to develop artificial blood vessel grafts of small to medium diameters for improved mechanical and biological performance. The technology used to produce the grafts will heavily be focused on Melt Electrowritting, which is a rather new and promising continuous fiber additive manufacturing process. I will explore the possibilities of this technologies in the cardiovascular field together with other techniques (Solution electrospinning and others) to optimize the grafts mechanical and biological properties so they would be suitable as a blood vessel replacement.
