Jasmin Wandel

Prof. Dr. Jasmin Wandel serves as a Professor at Bern University of Applied Sciences within the School of Engineering and Computer Science. Her academic profile combines teaching responsibilities in engineering disciplines with active research in biomechanics and medical engineering applications.

Her educational background includes a 2013 PhD dissertation on statistical methods for extreme value analysis in Gaussian processes, establishing her foundation in quantitative research methodologies. This statistical expertise informs her interdisciplinary approach to engineering problems.

Professor Wandel's research program centers on biomechanical analysis of bone structures and medical device optimization. Key focus areas include:

• Computational modeling of fracture mechanics using finite element analysis
• Thermal management in surgical robotics and bone drilling procedures
• Biomechanical characterization of bone-implant interfaces
• Statistical methods for medical engineering data analysis

Her work bridges theoretical engineering principles with clinical applications, particularly in orthopedics.

Analysis of her publication trends (2013-2019) reveals consistent output in high-impact biomechanics journals, with increasing focus on clinically applicable research. The majority of her work involves collaborative projects with University of Bern researchers, demonstrating strong institutional partnerships in the Swiss medical engineering ecosystem.

While specific awards aren't documented in available sources, her publication record in journals like Bone and Medical Engineering & Physics indicates peer recognition of her contributions to biomechanical research.

Professor Wandel maintains active supervision of master's students at BFH, with research projects typically involving computational modeling and experimental validation. Her collaborations with University of Bern and industry partners like SVGW provide students with access to clinical datasets and real-world engineering challenges. Current research appears funded through institutional partnerships and applied research grants typical of Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences.

Based at the Burgdorf campus, Professor Wandel contributes to BFH's strategic focus on Humane Digital Transformation through her work in medical robotics and computational biomechanics, integrating engineering solutions with human-centered healthcare applications.
