  • Thibault Vervenne

    Thibault Vervenne

    Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Mechanical Engineering

    BioThibault Vervenne is a Belgian PhD researcher in Soft Tissue Biomechanics, guided by Nele Famaey at KU Leuven.
    Thibault is currently visiting the Living Matter Lab of Ellen Kuhl, as part of Stanford Bio-X.
    His research passion lies in the middle of the scientific triangle connecting engineering, medicine and material science. Thibault combines (I) computer models and simulations in biomechanical engineering, with (II) clinical applications in cardiac surgery, and (III) polymeric medical textiles for these cardiovascular applications.
    Specifically, Thibault's academical journey is focused on the design and development of a mechanocompatible external support for the Ross procedure. At Stanford, Thibault is therefore working on the automated biomechanical model discovery of cardiovascular tissues and devices through neural networks.
