Aris Konstantinidis

Motivated and goal-oriented Mechanical Engineer specialized in Mechanical Design and Biomedical Engineering. Throughout my studies, I have completed various projects in machine elements, mechanics, biomechanics and medical device design subjects. Currently working on research projects aimed at designing a novel superelastic compression plate for long bone osteosynthesis and an improved stereotaxic injection system for intracerebral administration of drugs in mice. Actively interested in research positions related to the aforementioned fields of study. Happy to work as part of a team, as well as on individual projects.
