The 3mE Faculty trains committed engineering students, PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3mE is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering of TU Delft develops medical devices based on mechanical solutions in nature by following the entire track from fundamentally new technology to commercially available end-product. Medical input is given by a number of medical specialists from collaborating academic hospitals. Prototype development and manufacturing is supported by specialised designers and instrument makers of the DEMO Central Workshop of TUD. The new technology developed is commercialised by a number of (spin-off) companies.
Job description
In the Department of Biomechanical Engineering of TU Delft, research is being carried out on the development of dendritic (=branched) instrumentation for minimally invasive skull base operations. The dendritic instruments under development consist of a number of flexible arms connected to a common shaft that can be inserted through a small hole in the patient's skull. The arms are individually maneuverable and controllable by a surgeon, the first arm being an endoscope and the other arms containing grippers or other tools to carry out the operation.
