Dr.-Ing. M. Ali Nasseri

 

Curriculum Vitæ

M. Ali Nasseri did his Bachelor's degree in Electrical engineering with focus on design and development of robot controllers and after five years of industrial experience in R&D management, he obtained his Master's degree in Mechatronics with focus on mechatronic design of a platform for collective intelligence research. His scientific interest and experiences focus on Medical Technology applications such as Healthcare robotics and rehabilitation robotics. In parallel to pursuing PhD degree, he was a research fellow at the department of robotics and embedded systems at TU München (TUM). Between 2011 and 2014 he was working as a team leader of a robotic project which deals with assistance in micro surgery. This was a joint project between Robotics and Embedded Systems group and ophthalmology department of Klinikum Rechts der Isar. In 2014, for one year he was serving as the scientific manager of ECHORD++ project, monitoring more than 20 rehabilitation robotic project around europe. In addition to aforementioned scientific experiences, he has several Entrepreneurial Qualification certificates from TUM department of Entrepreneurship. His main entrepreneurial interest is bench to bedside translation of health-care related products consisting technical, marketing and certification aspects. Currently M. Ali Nasseri is currently the head of medical technology laboratory at ophthalmology department of Klinikum Rechts der Isar. Meanwhile he is working as external expert in ICT-Healthcare units at European Commission.
