Senior🎓
Top SchoolTassos Natsakis is a post-doctoral researcher and research collaborator with 11 years’ experience at the intersection of biomechanics, robotics, and control, specializing in ankle joint function and implant design. With a PhD from KU Leuven and a mechanical engineering background, he combines deep technical skills in finite element methods, nonlinear dynamics and optimal control with hands-on teaching and research leadership at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. He has applied this expertise to impact-driven projects—helping develop assistive wearable tech at dotLumen and leading dissemination for the H2020 SeaClear seabed-cleaning initiative—demonstrating an ability to translate research into real-world solutions. Longstanding involvement in international student organisations and training roles has honed his project management, communication and training delivery capabilities, making him equally effective in interdisciplinary teams and public-facing roles. An often-overlooked strength is his track record across both academic and product-focused environments, allowing him to bridge rigorous biomechanics research with practical engineering and stakeholder engagement.
