Master's Students

Soponvit Larpnimitchai

MEng

I am a Master's student in Materials Science and Engineering. I work on developing PHA blends and designing conduits for use in nerve tissue engineering.

Meghna Ray

M.Sc

I am a fourth year medical student who is currently taking this year to intercalate on the Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine MSc course. My research project is into the development of tissue engineered conduit from PHAs for the reconstruction of a provisional right ventricle, to be used in the treatment of single ventricle conditions.

International Exchange Students

Lara Santolin

M.Eng

Lara Santolin studies M. Sc. in Biotechnology at the Technische Universität Berlin and visited the Roy Lab Group from the 14.10.2019 – 18.03.2020 funded by an ERASMUS+ Scholarship. She characterised P(3HB-co-3HHx) and studied its application for Nerve Tissue Engineering. Lara has been working as a research assistant and Tutor at the Chair of Bioprocess Engineering at the TU Berlin since 2017 where she has specialised in High Cell Density fed-batch cultivations for the production of PHA bioplastic gaining profound experience in handling different bioreactor systems in the scale of 1 – 100 L as well as executing the related analytics.
