My project aims to assess the feasibility of bringing 3D printers into the surgical operating room. The project covers a mix of techniques like 3D printing, cell culture, and mechanical testing of developed materials. There is a strong clinical application, as the project is a collaboration between Rigshospitalet and DTU. I would love to speak with your students about:
-
Creativity in engineering – using methods like 3D printing to overcome obstacles and the status quo
-
Our regenerative potential – how we plan to use a patient’s own cells to heal wounds
-
Defining & designing materials – how the environment and techniques dictate what materials can be used
I am ½ Danish and ½ American, and chose to pursue my PhD at DTU after volunteering in the same lab as a summer intern during my master’s education. Prior to the PhD, I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at a top-20 US institution in biomedical and mechanical engineering, respectively. I also worked two years as a consultant to venture capital and investment funds in San Francisco. Both moving internationally to Denmark and studying a PhD were huge choices – I am incredibly happy with my decisions and would be glad to speak about that as well!
Currently, my spoken English is much better than my spoken Danish, so I would plan to give the presentation in English.
