CFD Analysis of a novel flow-stretch bioreactor
In this project, the magnitude and distribution of WSS inside two flow-chamber designs for cell culture is to be investigated via CFD. First, the impact of pulsatile flow in comparison to steady flow should be studied for a common, rigid flow-chamber. Second, the flow and resulting WSS inside the described flow-stretch bioreactor is to be investigated. more -
Development of flow-stretch bioreactor for endothelial cells
In this project, a bioreactor is to be developed which allows the culture of endothelial cells under flow and stretch. The envisioned system should be capable of covering a range of flow rates and strains. more -
Development of pulsatile flow loop for studies on endothelial cells
In this project, a test bench is to be developed which allows the generation of accurately controllable pulsatile flows for in-vitro studies on endothelial cells. The envisioned system should enable both steady and transient flows, including complex physiological profiles. more -
Analysis of pathophysiologic signals in hydrocephalus
The core task of this interdisciplinary master thesis project at the interface of physiology and biomedical engineering is the processing and analysis of invasively acquired pressure signals in various compartments of the body. It is part of a joint research endeavor with the ETH Zurich Product Development Group. more -
Fluid mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph and the cerebro-spinal fluid
The focus of this research is to better understand the biofluid-mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph of the inner ear and the cerebro-spinal fluid. more
