Shaun D. Gregory has Bachelor, Masters and PhD degrees in medical engineering and has completed research in some of the world’s leading cardiovascular device research institutes. He has multiple research publications, grants, patents and awards. Shaun is a research fellow in the Griffith University School of Engineering and directs the Innovative Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology Laboratory, a world-class research facility with a team of biomedical, mechanical and electrical engineers who work alongside clinicians to develop devices to support the heart and lungs. Jutta Arens is a Mechanical Engineer and Professor in Engineering Organ Support Technologies at the University of Twente in the Netherlands since 2019. She completed her PhD and Habilitation at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, where she worked on the development and research of circulatory and respiratory support devices from 2005 – 2019 at the Institute of Applied Medical Engineering in the Department of Cardiovascular Engineering. She is member of the Board of Trustees of the American Society of Artificial Organs, the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Federal Institute of Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), and the International Standardization Organization´s ISO/TC 150/SC 2 working group 4 – Extracorporeal Circuits. Andrew Stephens is a biomedical engineer specialising in medical sensors and smart devices. Andrew completed his PhD at Griffith University developing new ways to control artificial heart devices. Andrew is a research fellow at Monash University and Deputy Director of the Cardio-Respiratory Engineering Laboratory. Andrew’s current research focus is on smart devices and artificial intelligence for emergency medicine. Dr. Heinsar is an emerging clinician-researcher at the University of Queensland with a focus on mechanical circulatory support and a special interest in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. He is a research fellow at the Critical Care Research Group, a global leader in translational critical care research. His contributions to ECMO research are internationally recognised as he is the 1st dual-recipient of the prestigious European Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Young Investigator Award. John Fraser is the Founder and Director of the Critical Care Research Group, Director of the ICU at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, President of AP-ELSO and a Professor of Medicine at the University of Queensland. His research spans across several disciplines including medicine, biomedical science, engineering and more. John’s work has changed clinical practice on a global scale on several occasions, while his passion for innovation continues to change the scientific fields that he works in. Dr. Fraser has won numerous prizes and fellowships for his research, and contributed to the education of countless clinicians, scientists and engineers.
