The surface integrity of biomedical devices is crucial to their performance and effectiveness. Biomedical devices, such as orthopaedic implants, surgical instruments, and prosthetics, are often implanted or come in contact with living tissues and bodily fluids. As a result, the surface of these devices must be carefully designed and controlled to ensure biocompatibility, durability, and… Continue reading Importance of surface integrity in manufacturing biomedical devices

As I was approaching the completion of my master’s degree, I had much to think about what I wanted to do next. One of the things that came to my mind was to proceed to Ph.D. However, some scary things I heard/read about the degree had me thinking twice if I should get it. I… Continue reading Insights on my PhD life
Case study: Prototyping a screening device for anti-cancer drug treatment
Following the second training module (TM2) hosted by UCD in the spring of 2022, a case study was given to a group of three ESRs in the SIMPPER_MedDev project. With excitingly new and relevant knowledge of the design of microfluidic devices and the industry at large, they were challenged to address a new direction to… Continue reading Case study: Prototyping a screening device for anti-cancer drug treatment
Novo Nordisk visit in Hillerød
Working as an industrial PhD in Novo Nordisk, it is important for me to link my research to real industrial problematics, and I wanted to give a glimpse of the industrial world to my fellow comrades within the SIMPPER_Meddev consortium. During the first training in Dublin, we unfortunately couldn’t visit BD, and I was looking… Continue reading Novo Nordisk visit in Hillerød
Training week – Copenhagen
Training week – Copenhagen After seven months it finally arrives the time to gather again, this time in Copenhagen, Denmark! I think I can speak on behalf of everyone that excitement and anxiety were the main feelings before seeing and hanging out with everyone in another country. For a lot of us it was the… Continue reading Training week – Copenhagen
My Understanding of the Doctorate
Before I start this blog, I would like to thank the “SIMPPER_MedDev – H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020” project for giving me this valuable opportunity to pursue my PhD and to meet a great group of scientific researchers! Back in 2018, after I failed to apply for a PhD at Tsinghua University, I began to reflect on my shortcomings… Continue reading My Understanding of the Doctorate
Training in Dublin
The 12 early-stage researchers (ESRs) for the first time since joining SIMPPER_MedDev, met each other in Dublin to attend their training modules at University College Dublin. Based in different countries and hosted by top research universities the ESRs flew in from Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The training was tailor made to pave the… Continue reading Training in Dublin
