New Microsystems PhD student: Inês Pereira

Inês has started on April 1 as PhD student in the Microsystems section. She will be working in the project “SEAMS”, a collaboration with eye doctors of Maastricht University Medical Center and with Chemical Engineering at TU/e. The goal is to develop a smart eye implant that can release the eye pressure for glaucoma patients. By integrating a responsive material in the implant, it will be possible to adjust the implant properties and therefore tune the eye pressure even after implanting in the eye.
