Development of a Pinch Valve Controller for an Ex Vivo Perfusion Machine
The reintegration of individuals who have experienced accidents is at the heart of our efforts. A severe car accident or a workplace accident, can profoundly change a person's life. Such tragic events often result in serious injuries, such as severed limbs, and are classified as "polytrauma." At our lab, we are working to mitigate the consequences of such severe accidents. Using an innovative perfusion machine, we are try to keep severed limbs alive outside the body for up to four days. This time window provides the foundation for successfully retransplanting the limb to a stabilized polytrauma patient.

Thermal Energy Storage - Design and Control
Energy storage systems become increasingly important to tackle the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind turbines. This thesis focuses on a novel energy storage solution where excess electrical energy is converted into heat and back into electricity, using a novel piston-based engine concept that achieves over 70% round-trip efficiency. The aim is to design, optimize, and control this thermal energy storage system and to assess its economic potential in various scenarios.
