Martin Schneider is a graduate of TGM Vienna with a major in mechanical engineering and has specialized in project management for many years.

He possesses extensive experience in international financial and organizational management.

In recent years he held leading positions at an international financial services group where he independently managed large projects and technical developments, particularly in the area of motorsports.

Mr. Schneider was also the CFO and managing director of group companies.

Viola Dempwolf studied Orthobionics (BSc) at the PFH Göttingen, acquired the certificate in Prosthetics/Orthotics (ISPO Cat. I Professional) and studied Healthcare and Rehabilitation Technology (MSc) at the FH Technikum Wien. Following wide-ranging studies in medical technology, she specialized in regulatory issues and gained experience in the approval of medical devices.

At CCORE she is responsible in the area of regulatory affairs and quality management for multifaceted activities in the approval process of medical devices.

Christine Teich worked for several years as a registered nurse before she studied Biomedical Engineering (BSc) at the UAS Technikum Wien and Regulatory Affairs (MSc) at the Danube University Krems. She gained experience in the field of Regulatory Affairs in a globally operating biotech company, where she eventually became head of the Regulatory Affairs department. Her responsibilities there included international regulatory strategy, study coordination and dossier preparation.

Her area of responsibility at CCORE is the regulatory approval process and all topics related to Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management.

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.

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.

Dipl. -Ing. Christian Wiesinger studied medical technology at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences in Linz. In his master’s thesis he specialised in possible sterilisation processes in injection moulding production. In addition to his technical studies, he is a trained emergency paramedic (NKA/NKV) with active work in the rescue service. During his training, he was able to gain experience in the operation and use of medical devices on patients. His tasks include CAD design, 3D printing and testing of prototypes according to the current standards of medical technology.

Lukas Zettel visited the HTL Mistelbach for biomedical and health technology. In the course of this training he was able to gain experience as a service technician in several well-known medical technology companies in the office and field service. As it was clear to him after graduation that he wanted to develop electronic systems in the future, he went on to study at the FH Technikum Wien. There he gained sound knowledge in the areas of embedded systems and electronics. Parallel to his studies, he worked as an embedded software developer in the automotive industry, where he gained a detailed insight into C programming and the entire product development process, from the specification sheet to series production support. His core task in the CCore team is the EMV-compatible hardware development. Together with his colleagues he is also responsible for software development.
