Sjeng Quicken

Sjeng Quicken is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Cardiovascular Biomechanics (CVBM) group. He focuses on computational modeling of biomechanics, particularly respiratory dynamics during mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic optimization of dialysis grafts. Collaborations include Maastricht University Medical Centre.

• Academic Background: MSc in Medical Engineering (2015, TU/e); PhD in Hemodynamic Optimization of Dialysis Grafts (2019, Maastricht University).
• Research Themes: Biomechanical modeling, vascular growth mechanisms, computational fluid dynamics, and medical device optimization.

His recent work emphasizes flow oscillations in vascular tissue growth, surrogate modeling for computational efficiency, and clinical applications in dialysis. Key subfields include wall shear stress analysis, uncertainty quantification, and sensitivity analysis.

He teaches courses such as Cardiovascular Fluid-Structure Interaction and clinical modules in nephrology, intensive care, and cardiology.
