Peyman Karami

Peyman Karami is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics (LBO) within École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)'s College of Engineering.

• Research focuses on adhesive hydrogels for cartilage repair and orthopedic applications
• Investigates biomimetic stimuli (hydrostatic pressure, temperature) in chondrocyte homeostasis
• Develops ligin-based multifunctional hydrogels for sustainable biomedical applications
• Expertise in mechanobiology and thermomechanical regulation of tissue-engineered constructs

Scientific Contributions: Leads 15+ publications on hydrogel technologies for cartilage regeneration, thermomechanical stimulation effects, and lignin functionalization, including breakthrough work in NIR-light photocuring, malacic trachea repair, and biomimetic temperature gradients.

Current Research Trends: Prioritizes injectable adhesive hydrogels, noninvasive tissue repair, and multi-functional biomaterials that couple mechanical and biochemical cues for enhanced regeneration.
