Yxi Su, PhD student.
\nCultivation and adaptation of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum<\/em> to stresses. <\/span>Microalgae as phytoplankton are the main primary biomass producers and can be used as feedstock to develop a range of products from low to high values to boost a bio- based and more sustainable economy. Therefore, they have gained great interest for their critical role in global food web and ecosystems as well as for their potential applications in industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Svava Kristj\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir, PhD student.
\nCellulose based Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering.\u00a0 The purpose of this project is threefold; first to produce a biological cellulose scaffold for tissue engineering applications from novel plants source material, kelp seaweed. Secondly, to test the mechanical properties of the plant based extracellular matrix (ECM) in comparison with animal collagen-based ECM. Thirdly, test the in Vitro and in Vivo cellular ingrowth of the plant-based ECM and compare it to collagen-based ECM

Anna L\u00e1ra \u00c1rmannsd\u00f3ttir, PhD student
\nMechanical design of assistive devices: Evaluating the user\u2019s perspective and the effects on gait biomechanics.\u00a0 The aim is to evaluate the bio-mechanical and users\u00b4 perspective in a case study of a novel Variable Stiffness Prosthetic (VSF) foot at level walking gait during different speeds and during incline and decline walking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christophe Lecomte, PhD student
\nVariable Stiffness Prosthetic Foot.\u00a0 Prosthetic devices aim to replace a missing limb.\u00a0 Behind this simple statement, the design, testing, and validation of the devices are complex. Many ESAR prosthetic feet are commercially available and the recently developed bionic prosthesis aim to increase ankle push-off power or ankle joint compliance. The motivation for this work is to propose an alternative device design for a variable sagittal stiffness prosthetic foot. The device shall keep the benefits of existing energy-storing-and-returning devices with the addition of stiffness modulation possibilities and with limited additional mass.

Chadi Barakat, PhD student.
\nDesign and Evaluation of Parallel & Scalable Machine Learning Research in Biomedical Modelling Applications. The concrete medical focus of this Ph.D. studies where ML techniques will be applied in the analysis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which is a severe condition that affects around 1 in 10,000 people every year with life threatening consequences. The pathophysiology of ARDS is characterized by bronchoalveolar injury and alveolar collapse (i.e., \u2018atelectasis\u2019) following pulmonary trauma or viral infection and is usually associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
