High-throughput ultrasound-based volumetric 3D printing for tissue engineering
Prof. Thierry Baasch
Since November 2023 he is an Assistant Professor at the faculty of biomedical engineering at the Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH) in Lund, Sweden. In Lund, he is strengthening the theoretical background of the experimental Acoustofluidics research group at Lund University. He has received his BSc., MSc. and Dr. Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). After he defended my thesis in 2020, he joined the group of Prof. Thomas Laurell in Lund as a postdoctoral researcher. As a theoretician he focuses his efforts on developing strong theories to advance lab-on-a-chip technology. He is especially interested in acoustophoresis, i.e. the contactless acoustic handling of micrometre-sized particles or cells. In this interdisciplinary field, he can apply his knowledge of mechanics, acoustics, fluid dynamics, and multibody dynamics to develop new technologies that overcome industrial and medical challenges.
His current research interests focus on applying analytical and numerical modeling to enhance, optimize, and innovate acoustophoresis and other lab-on-a-chip applications. This is achieved through thorough experimental validation and carefully developed theories. Current projects aim at optimizing the throughput, efficiency, and reproducibility of acoustophoresis chips, as well as gaining additional control of the particle trajectories. His research interests include physical modeling and computational methods, e.g. acoustics, wave-motion, multibody and non-smooth mechanics, control theory, finite-element methods, and machine learning.
As a member of the organizing committee of the 2024 engineering health conference he has had the pleasure to meet and interact with many of the researchers within the profile area. Therefore, he applied to join the engineering health profile area as a principal investigator to form new collaborations and stay in contact with its current members.
Dr. Shuo Huang
Dr. Shuo Huang received his Ph.D. in Mechanics in January 2025 from the college of engineering at Peking University, China, where he conducted research at the State Key Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex System. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the faculty of biomedical engineering at Lund University, Sweden. His research interests lie in dynamics and control, with a particular focus on the complex dynamical behavior of particle systems.
Dr. Huang has long been engaged in the study of multibody system dynamics under multi-physics and multiscale conditions. His research typically integrates theoretical approaches from multibody dynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and statistical mechanics, combined with both simulations and experiments to uncover the underlying physical mechanisms of some interesting issues.
His current work focuses on the acoustophoretic behavior of particle systems under complex physical conditions. He aims to develop theoretical and numerical models that account for large particle populations, irregular shapes of particle, diverse properties of background flow, and complex acoustic fields. These efforts are expected to contribute to applications such as 3D printing and lab-on-a-chip technologies.
