Michelle Spanjaards is an Assistant Professor in the Microsystems group of the Mechanical Engineering department of Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网). Her research focuses on the development and application of numerical methods for the computation-guided design of bioinspired microsystems. Using advanced numerical methods, and often seeking collaboration with experimental researchers, she aims to gain fundamental insights into the rheological behavior of soft materials in microfluidic and biomedical applications. Among her current research interests are  non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, micro-hydrodynamics and computational rheology.

Michelle Spanjaards started her study in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 at the Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网), where she obtained her MSc degree (with great appreciation) in 2017. Immediately after she started as a doctoral candidate in the Polymer Technology group of prof. Patrick Anderson. She obtained her PhD degree in January 2022 with her thesis entitled: Modeling and optimization of polymer extrusion. After her PhD she spent several years in industry, working as a Research Scientist at Philips in the Multiphysics Models of Devices group. Since January 2024 she is employed as an Assistant Professor in the Microsystems group of prof. Jaap den Toonder at the 黑料福利网.
