At each event, two Principal Investigators (PIs) of MIBE working in related research areas will provide exciting insights into their research. After the talks which take around 90 minutes, there is plenty of time for networking.
Speakers:
Prof. Dr. Kristen Kozielski: Magnetoelectric nanomaterials for wireless neuronal modulation
Prof. Dr. Berna Özkale Edelmann: Soft microrobots for single cell mechanobiology
Date and Time: TUESDAY, May 31st, 4:30 pm – around 6:00 pm, afterwards networking
Place: MIBE lecture hall (room E.126), Boltzmannstraße 11, 85748 Garching and zoom
Kristen Kozielski works with new materials for wireless communication with the brain and nervous system. Her research focuses on understanding and optimizing materials for controlled, electronic signaling to and from the brain. The goal of this work is to contribute to neurotechnologies that are minimally invasive, and possibly implanted with no surgical intervention. Her multidisciplinary group works in materials science, biomaterials, nanotechnology, electrical engineering, and neurobiology.
Prof. Kozielski completed her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and her postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. She moved to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2019 as a group leader. She has been at TUM since 2021, where she is an Assistant Professor of Neuroengineering Materials in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. At TUM, she is also the Program Director of the Elite Master’s Program in Neuroengineering.
Berna Özkale Edelmann's research focuses on developing nanorobotic tools to decipher signaling processes between mammalian cells and their microenvironment. In particular, her research utilizes nanotechnology, smart biomaterials, microfluidics, and single cell manipulation technology to engineer multifunctional microdevices designed for regenerative medicine.
Özkale Edelmann received her Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (2009) and her Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at ETH Zurich (2011). She earned her Ph. D. in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich in the Multi Scale Robotics Lab (2016). In 2017, she joined the Mooney lab in Harvard University to conduct her postdoctoral research. Since 2021, Özkale Edelmann is at TUM where she was appointed to the professorship for Nano- and Microrobotics at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
