Dr. Ahasan Habib serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology within RIT's College of Engineering Technology, where he leads cutting-edge research at the intersection of mechanical engineering, materials science, and computational methods. His work focuses on overcoming critical barriers in 3D bioprinting through innovative approaches to bioink formulation, process control, and hardware design. His research program centers on three synergistic pillars: Advanced Material Systems : Development of nanofiber-reinforced hybrid hydrogels (alginate-gelatin composites) with tunable rheological properties for enhanced scaffold fidelity Computational Optimization : Machine learning frameworks (Bayesian optimization, decision trees) for predicting bioink behavior and automating print parameter selection Hardware Innovation : Custom bioprinter components including nozzle systems, thermal controls, and in-house-developed smart sensors for real-time process monitoring Analysis of his 2024 publications reveals a strategic progression from fundamental material characterization to clinical applications, with recent work on finger prosthetics demonstrating translational impact. His publications in Biofabrication and Frontiers in Materials indicate growing recognition in the field, while conference presentations at ASME MSEC and IISE highlight strong industry connections. Dr. Habib's research demonstrates significant grant potential through its interdisciplinary nature and alignment with NSF's advanced manufacturing priorities and NIH's tissue engineering initiatives. The lab provides students with rare cross-training in computational modeling, material science, and mechanical design within a rapidly evolving biomedical manufacturing landscape.

Liliana Sofia Moreira Teixeira Leijten serves as Associate Professor in Advanced Organ Bioengineering and Therapeutics at the University of Twente's TechMed Centre, where she leads pioneering research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Her work integrates biomechanics, biomaterials science, and microfluidics to develop physiologically relevant models for joint disease study and therapeutic development. Her research focuses on cartilage and synovium biology, employing organ-on-chip platforms to investigate cellular responses to mechanical stimuli like fluid shear stress and compressive loading. Key methodologies include dextran/hyaluronic acid-based biomaterials, 3D bioprinting, and high-throughput single-cell analysis techniques to decode chondrocyte behavior in osteoarthritis and regeneration contexts. This interdisciplinary approach bridges engineering principles with cellular biology to create predictive in vitro systems. Recent publications reveal a strategic shift toward dynamic tissue modeling, with 2025 works emphasizing arterial pulsatility simulation in biofabricated channels and high-resolution protein deposition mapping in 3D microenvironments. These advances demonstrate her leadership in merging vascular engineering with cartilage research to address complex regenerative challenges. Scientific recognition includes: Best Abstract Award from TERMIS meeting 2010 Best Poster Award (2 December 2010) Biological in vitro evaluation of chitosan-based hydrogels for cartilage regeneration (20 November 2008) No explicit details regarding student advising or grant funding were documented in the source materials, though her collaborative project leadership implies active mentorship roles. Dr. Leijten coordinates multiple TechMed Centre initiatives including Cartilage-On-Chip and Synovial membrane-on-chip platforms, working with cross-disciplinary teams to develop multi-cellular systems that replicate joint biomechanics and inflammatory responses for drug screening applications.
