Per Arvid Löthman is Professor in BioMechatronics and an interdisciplinary researcher and teacher. He studied materials science at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany and Alfred University, NY, USA. In his doctorate at the University of Twente, Netherlands/Saarland University, he worked on self-assembly and magnetics and in several subsequent interdisciplinary projects on bionanotechnology, microfluidics, virology, archaea arechaea viruses and bacteriophages micro- and nanoparticles, medical microrobots (such as magnetotactic bacteria), carbon nanotubes and graphene (e.g. for sensor applications) and surfaces and biomimetics, in which cooperation partners such as the Institut Pasteur in Paris, the CEA Aix-en-Provence and the Aix-Marseille Université were also involved. Before joining Euro-FH (European University of Applied Sciences Hamburg) in Hamburg, Germany Per Arvid Löthman spent several years researching and teaching in industry as well as at domestic and foreign universities, colleges and research institutes, such as the Fraunhofer Institute, the Max Bergmann Center for Biomaterials, the TU Dresden, the École Polytechnique de Montréal, the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences and the KIST Europe, in addition to supervising bachelor's, master's and doctoral theses. In addition to his professorship Dr. Löthman is a research group leader at the University of Bayreuth, Chair for Additive Processes for Tissue Reconstruction in the group of Prof. Anayancy Osorio Madrazo, in Organ-on-Chip and microphysiological systems.
