Biographical Sketch
Malte Rolf-Pissarczyk, born in 1990 in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Germany, holds a double bachelor degree from the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven. He advanced his studies at Leibniz University in Hannover, earning a Master's in Mechanical Engineering in 2018. During his graduate studies in 2016, he was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, supported by a scholarship from the “Dr. Jürgen und Irmgard Ulderup Stiftung”. In 2018, he began his Ph.D. at Graz University of Technology's Institute of Biomechanics, Austria, focusing on material and computational modeling of aortic dissection. He received the “Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation” scholarship in 2022 for a research stay at Stanford University, where he worked with A.L. Marsden and D. Fleischmann, leading to a nomination as a Stanford University affiliate member, a position he currently holds. After his Ph.D. degree in 2024, he accepted a position as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biomechanics.
