Felix Wehrmann
PhD student (per November 2020)
Felix Wehrmann will join the Caneva lab as a PhD student to work on the acoustic actuation of force-sensitive protein nanopores. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from FH Aachen Departement Jülich and is currently finishing his master’s degree in Medical Engineering at the University of Stuttgart with a master’s thesis about the mechanical stimulation of neurons via hydrogels at the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials.
Inge van der Knijff
Master student
My name is Inge van der Knijff and I am working on the design of a surface acoustic wave device to pattern submicron particles and biomolecules at the surface of nanopore chips. As a student in the master Applied Physics programme I am excited to use my knowledge of mesoscopic and solid state physics for the development of a novel nanomechanical device.
Pim van den Brandeler
Bachelor student
I am Pim van den Brandeler and as a part of my bachelor in Applied Physics, I am going to do a project that on focuses on using graphene as a lipid bilayer diffusion barrier. The work involves AFM, Raman spectroscopy, and electrical measurements. With this research I aim to better understand the interaction between 2D materials and biological membranes. In future this could allow us to confine and manipulate biomolecules for medical and scientific applications.
Could this be you?
