Hermann Seitz

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hermann Seitz is a Professor of Microfluidics at the University of Rostock's Department of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture. His career spans roles at the Technical University of Munich, where he studied electrical engineering (diploma, 1997) and earned his PhD in 2002, to leading the Rapid Prototyping group at Bonn's Caesar Research Center (2001-2006), and his current position since 2018. His research focuses on microfluidics and additive manufacturing for biomedical applications, particularly 3D printing of hydrogels, piezoelectric materials, and bioactive scaffolds.

• Alumni: Technical University of Munich (Electrical Engineering, 1997)
• Current Affiliation: University of Rostock, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture
• Former Roles: Research Assistant (TUM, 1997-2001), Rapid Prototyping Group Leader (Caesar Research Center, 2001-2006)

Professor Seitz's research integrates biomedical engineering and materials science to develop medical devices, implants, and tissue engineering solutions. Key areas include 3D printing for drug delivery systems, bioactive composites, and laser processing. His recent publications emphasize bioresorbable implants, stem cell stimulation, and machine learning in additive manufacturing.

His 15 most recent articles (2025) explore topics such as superhydrophobic surfaces, cartilage regeneration, conductive adhesives in FFF, and bioactive hydrogel coatings, reflecting interdisciplinary work at the intersection of materials science and medical technology. Current projects target personalized implants and stimuli-responsive drug delivery using advanced fabrication techniques.
