Themes: Organs-on-chip

Biography

Tawab completed his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the 3mE faculty from TU Delft (2019), additionally completing extracurricular subjects in Electrical Engineering from the EWI faculty . In his final year he completed his Bachelor’s thesis on designing and testing of a modular 3D printable multicolour SMLM microscope, creating a platform for scientist to use. Tawab then proceeded to obtain his master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at the 3mE faculty of TU Delft (2022), with a focus on bioelectronics and medical devices. His master thesis topic focused on the design and monolithic fabrication of flexible graphene-based implant with a novel CMOS technology integration. In February 2022, Tawab started as junior process engineer at a deep-tech startup in Delft, developing and fabricating novel OoC devices within the EKL cleanroom facilities.

In February 2025, Tawab joined TU Delft as a PhD candidate in the Electronics Components Technology and Materials (ECTM) group in the department of Microelectronics. His research will focus on the development of biosensors for in-vitro neuronal applications, enabling the further study of dementia-related disorders. He will focus on the integration of biocompatible, non-invasive and label-free biosensors.
