Biography
Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology
Nicholas Kurniawan received his Ph.D. in 2012 from the National University of Singapore (Singapore), studying the role of matrix viscoelasticity in cancer metastasis. He then carried out his postdoctoral research as a Marie Curie Fellow in FOM Institute AMOLF, Amsterdam (the Netherlands), investigating the hierarchical structure-property relation in the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrices.
His works have provided important insights into the underlying physical mechanisms behind the intriguing nonlinear behaviors of protein networks. In 2015, he joined Eindhoven University of Technology in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, as an assistant professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department. Combining his expertise on biopolymers physics, cell biomechanics, and cytoskeletal rheology, his current research focuses on the biophysical and mechanobiological aspects of cell-matrix interactions and the applications in regenerative medicine.
