Stefan Hartl studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology. At the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics he researched highly efficient, economically and ecologically sustainable flywheel storage systems.

His dissertation with a focus on simulation and material parameter identification was also written in this field.   He gained industrial, technical, and system-technical experience at a well-known manufacturer of microprocessor-controlled high-tech prosthetics and orthotics.

In CCORE he will be responsible for the design and layout of the overall system as well as for the industrialisation, commissioning, and testing of the individual components and assemblies.

Marek Lanc defended his PhD thesis aimed to gas transport in modern membrane materials at the Department of Physical Chemistry, University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. His experience is mainly in dense membrane transport phenomena, membrane characterization and preparation.
In our team, he will be responsible for the membrane development, evaluation of overall solutions and expert advice to the project management.

Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Hummel studied medical technology at the FH Oberösterreich in Linz. He specialized in electronics, biomechanics and applied programming. During his training, Andreas Hummel gained experience in the design of medical devices. His tasks include in particular the execution of tests and measures for quality assurance as well as the development of new solutions for the implementation of projects.

Dr. Bente Thamsen studied physical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. In the Laboratory for Biofluid Mechanics at Charité University Medicine Berlin, she subsequently did research in the field of cardiac assist pumps and received her doctorate for a pump design with less blood trauma. Her technical focus is therefore on the fields of fluid mechanics and hemocompatibility.
At CCORE she will be responsible for the development of the blood pump.

Adam Tywoniak is a chemistry graduate from University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague and Heidelberg University, Germany. In his MSc thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, he worked on the development of microfluidic devices for biophysical applications.
In our team, he will work closely with Marek Lanc on membrane development, with a focus on surface chemistry and biocompatibility.

Julius Bergmann studies electrical engineering and information technology at the Vienna University of Technology. He works on the CAD design and the subsequent production of the prototype modules, furthermore he assists with any test setups.

Michael Egger, BSc. MSc. studied Biomedical Engineering and Health and Rehabilitation Technology at the FH Technikum Wien. He specialized in the field of software development and gained versatile experience with C/C++, C#, Python and Java on various hardware platforms. After working in the field of 3D printing and in the areas of medical data processing and communication with hospital systems, he is responsible for software development and all related topics at CCORE.
