From the moment the idea arose to tackle the issue originating from Erasmus MC, it has been striking how helpful various parties have been. It started with a group of students who were all willing to convert their spare time…
A dummy guide on how to collaborate with people at a distance As you might have already read, our team started our healthcare challenge while we were in lock down. The first time I saw my team mates was through…
Maureen Hi everyone! I am Maureen Groenen, a bachelor student in Biomedical Engineering at the TU/e. To complete my bachelor degree, I still have to carry out a Bachelor End Project (BEP). I was looking for a BEP with an experimental component. An experimental…
What comes to mind first when thinking about smoke experiments are those cool pictures where the smoke path is clearly visible, right? Well, visualizing smoke clearly is more difficult than you presume. As you maybe have read in the blog ‘The struggles…
Marlous Hi everyone! My name is Marlous Bood and I am a first-year master's student Biomedical Engineering at the TU/e. To finish my bachelor's degree, I have the opportunity to do my Bachelor End Project (BEP) with Team VERO. For…
Happy to share that Romy Lauwers finished her bachelor thesis today. The past 10 weeks she did research at Team VERO on aerosol leakage of different face masks used for nebulizer treatment. Her thesis got rewarded with an 8.0/10, meaning…
We are excited to share that we are done with our first round of experiments! During summer, we were busy building the experimental set-up in the laboratory, and in September we started conducting the experiments. When preparing the experiments, we…
