Students and Guests
Helena Hausfelder
Helena graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Regensburg, where she developed a deep interest in investigating and characterizing microscopic structures. To expand her knowledge in fabrication techniques and biomedical research, she joined the group in October 2024. For her master’s thesis, Helena is designing a drug-screening platform for organoids, utilizing 3D microelectrode arrays to investigate how cell clusters respond and interact
Philipp Kuhndörfer
Philipp is pursuing his bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Munich and plans to add the subsequent master’s degree afterwards. For his bachelor’s thesis he focuses on the investigation of the printing properties of metal inks for the fabrication of 3D Electrodes using inkjet printing.
Zhuoya Wang
Zhuoya is a Master's student in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Biomedical Engineering. She has a strong interest in biomedical signal processing and clinically relevant research, driving her enthusiasm for this integrated study of neuron networks. Her project focuses on measuring the networking of hiPSC-derived neurons using fabricated microchannel electrode arrays electrophysiologically and calcium imaging optophysiologically.
Erik Hainzlmeier
Erik has a bachelor's degree from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and is currently enrolled in the same master's program. For his master's thesis, he is focusing on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), specifically researching a minimal continuous stimulus time for fNIRS measurements. Their work aims to advance the understanding and application of these interfaces in practical settings.
Jahnavi Madhusudhan Zalki
Jahnavi has a bachelor's degree in Biotechnology, and is currently enrolled in the master's program Biomedical engineering and Medical physics at TUM. For her master's thesis, she is working on Designing, fabrication, and characterization of self-foldable electrodes for interfacing cardiac tissues.
Rashmi Joshi
Rashmi Joshi is a PhD student from the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli". She is doing her PhD in Clinical & Experimental Medical Sciences. She completed her MSc. in Biotechnology. She is a guest and wants to work on a mini-project that focuses on studying HL-1 cardiomyocytes & effects of Empagliflozin & AGEs on them.
