Welcome a member of the Scientific Commission!

We regret to inform that for reasons independent of Us Scientific Comission member Nikou Hamzehpour PhD will not appear at #EYEC2024. In her stead, Paulina Trzaskowska PhD Eng, will be present. 

Paulina Trzaskowska PhD Eng will take place as a member of a scientific commission of the 12th European Young Engineers Conference! 

Paulina Trzaskowska PhD Eng. is a biomaterial engineer working as an assistant professor in Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies CEZAMAT, Warsaw University of Technology. After doctoral defence at Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering in 2018, she continued her work on obtaining and enhancing biomaterials intented to function with living cells and tissues. Her expertise lays in studying biointerfaces with specials regards to cell-biomaterial interaction. She has developed several well-functioning biocompatible and hemocompatible coatings on polymers and metals. These coatings, obtained in situ directly on the biomaterials surface, has been proven to be robust and performing very well towards cells and blood, significantly reducing blood clotting. Dr Trzaskowska also holds experience in stem cells differentiation in contact with bioactive implants. Recently she has been working on rapid endothelialization on metallic biomaterials in collaboration with University Hospital Erlangen. She has more than 30 published works.  

As we approach the day of our event, we welcome another scientist whose knowledge and experience will undoubtedly be a great addition to our conference. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in welcoming Paulina Trzaskowska to our distinguished team! 

Welcome The James Dyson Award!

📢 We are thrilled to unveil another patron for the 12th edition of EYEC, with the generous support of the James Dyson Award! 

The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It’s open to current and recent design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to get young people excited about design engineering.  

The James Dyson Award is your chance to make a name for yourself as an inventor. As well as winning a significant cash prize, you could generate media exposure to kick-start your career, earn the esteem of your peers – and perhaps gain the confidence to launch your own business. Entering is simple.  

The brief is broad. We’re looking for designers who think differently, to create products that work better.  

Engineers who follow an iterative design process. The judges – and James Dyson especially – are drawn to designs that employ clever yet simple engineering principles and address clear problems.  

As well as proving your project’s technical viability, we’d also love to see that it’s commercially viable, too – so include any research you’ve done into manufacturing costs and retail prices.  

This year the James Dyson will also looking for entries that address
a sustainability issue, or have been designed, sourced or manufactured sustainably. Find out how to enter   

“Young design engineers have the ability to develop tangible technologies that can change lives. The James Dyson Award rewards those who have the persistence and tenacity to develop their ideas.” -  James Dyson

Welcome a special guest of 12th EYEC!

We are delighted to introduce  Dr. Francisco M. Fernandes as a special guest of the 12th European Young Engineers Conference!

Francisco M. Fernandes obtained a degree in Applied Chemistry and a MSci in Environmental Sciences from the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal. He has then joined Prof. Ruiz-Hitzky’s group at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (CSIC) to pursue a PhD in Applied Physical Chemistry, focusing on the interface between biopolymers and clay minerals in bionanocomposite materials. In 2011, he integrated the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry (LCMCP) at Sorbonne Université as a post-doctoral fellow, under the guidance of Dr. N. Nassif, where he developed collagen-based materials by spray drying.  

Dr. Fernandes was appointed assistant professor in 2013 Sorbonne Université (Materials & Biology team at the LCMC), and passed his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2022. In 2016 he held a position of Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Physics at King’s College London. His current research interests revolve around the transformation of “classical” materials fabrication techniques into biofabrication techniques. In particular, he has developed a recognized expertise on ice templating applied to biological entities—from biomolecules up to living cells. Dr. Fernandes has authored of 47 research papers, 8 book chapters and is the co-inventor of 7 international patents. In 2023 he became editorial board member of Advanced Biology. He leads the Materials and Biology research group at Sorbonne since January 2024.  

We are delighted to have You on board, inspiring young engineers in the pursuit of knowledge. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in welcoming Francisco M. Fernandes to our conference! 🚀

✨Next Announcement for #EYEC2024! ✨  

We are pleased to announce Karol Ulatowski, PhD Eng. as a member of a scientific commission of the 12th European Young Engineers Conference!  

Karol Ulatowski, PhD Eng., is an employee of the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. He focuses his research on the bioprocesses involving the gas phase. His expertise lies in the investigation of nanobubble generation and stability mechanisms as well as their applications in life sciences. Karol is developing ways of supplying nanobubbles to the cultures of animal and plant cells, as well as microorganisms. His main goal is to be able to intensify the growth and metabolic activity of given cell cultures or microorganisms using tailored nanobubbles, which will have appropriate number, size, composition, and surface stabilizers. Such nanobubbles can then be implemented in various branches of biotechnology and the general life science industry, including food additives and drug manufacturing, medicine, agriculture as well as animal culture.  

We are delighted to have You on board, inspiring young engineers in the pursuit of knowledge. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in welcoming Karol Ulatowski to our conference!  🚀
