Liesbet Geris (DOB 04.06.1979) is Professor in Biomechanics and Computational Tissue Engineering at the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the university of Liège and Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the KU Leuven, Belgium. From the KU Leuven, she received her MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2002 and her PhD degree in Engineering in 2007, both summa cum laude. In 2007 she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre of Mathematical Biology of Oxford University.
Her research interests encompass the mathematical modeling of bone regeneration during fracture healing, implant osseointegration and tissue engineering applications. The phenomena described in these mathematical models reach from the tissue level, over the cell level, down to the molecular level. She works in close collaboration with experimental and clinical researchers from the university hospitals Leuven, focusing on the development of mathematical models of impaired healing situations and the in silico design of novel treatment strategies. She is scientific coordinator of Prometheus, the skeletal tissue engineering division of the KU Leuven. Her research is financed by European, regional and university funding (up to date 3.5 M€ as PI and co-PI). In 2011 she was awarded an ERC starting grant to pursue her research.

Nicole Grobert’s Research Group focuses on the synthesis, processing, and characterisation of novel carbon and non-carbon based nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanorods, graphene and other 2D nanomaterials. Close collaboration with internationally leading industries enables us to develop multifunctional hierarchical nanostructures for their implementation in the health-care sectors and for their use in energy and structural applications.
Young Academy of Europe
Production routes for the controlled manufacturing of nanomaterials include chemical vapour deposition, template routes, arc discharge, and wet-chemical techniques. State-of-the-art in-situ characterisation plays a crucial role in order to elucidate the importance of individual growth parameters for the controlled formation and the study of structure properties relationships of these novel nanomaterials.

I am a member of faculty in the department of Physics and Astronomy. Originally I came to Sussex on a national STFC research fellowship at the end of 2007 and was appointed as Lecturer in 2008 followed by Reader in 2013. Before that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the UK’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, working there from 2005-2007. I studied for my DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford and obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Nottingham.

In 2013 I was awarded the Institute of Physics HEPP Group Prize for my research into neutrinos. I currently hold a five year European Research Council grant “AntineutrinoNOvA” that funds my NOvA group and allows me to focus the large majority of my time on research. I am an elected member of the NOvA Executive Committee and a convenor of the muon (anti)neutrino disappearance analysis group.
