Peter Paulus leads the engineering team at Pleioflow. He has a diploma in Mechanical Engineering and is a certified Lean Manager. Before joining Pleioflow, Peter held several leadership positions in the medical device industry.Most recently he served as Head of Production Engineering at Medartis AG, a leading player in osteosynthesis, based in Basel, Switzerland. Between 2004 and 2017 Peter worked for Memory-Metalle GmbH (2009: Renaming to Memory GmbH). Starting in the position of the Production Manager, he became R&D Manager in 2006. He is a Nitinol expert working in stent making environments for more than 16 years. Peter lives with his family the southwesternmost corner of Germany, close to the Swiss and the French border.

Andreas Bompas studied Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at National Technical University of Athens. He expanded his studies in the field of Biomechanics and Biomaterials specialized in Cardiovascular Biomechanics at the same university. Since 2017 A.Bompas, has been an associate researcher at the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens, where he continues his research projects on the aortic wall, peripheral arteries and hemodynamics properties. with relevant publications.He created the first Greek company in the field of Medical 3D Printing (Biomimic), specialized exclusively in the needs of Interventional Cardiology. He extended that field by joining the Research and Development department of 3DLife, the biggest medical 3D printing company in the Balkans. From February 2020 he is an R&D engineer of Pleioflow’s family. He focuses on stent design development and valve mechanisms that optimizes the hemodynamics parameters of human cardiac circulation.

Mary Christofakaki studied Mechanical Engineering in University of West Attica in Greece. She is specialized in planning and architecture of tolls and components as well as in Additive Manufacturing – 3D printing in several engineering and medical applications. She has performed her internship in 3D Life SA in Athens, one of the top 5 surgical simulations companies in the world for 2020 according to a US specialized magazine. In that period, she was trained to reconstruction and 3D printing of models used for presurgical planning as well as a training to medical students. She is working at present in Pleioflow as an engineer in tooling architectural planning and design to build components of a novel medical device.

Alexander Basiakoulis is mechanical engineer with a 10-year experience in research and development (R&D) of industrial and consumer products. He obtained his Integrated Master Degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineers of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with specialization in design, structures and manufacturing processes. Since 2009, he is a key member of the Antikythera Mechanism research team of the Aristotle University. At the duration of his research, he discovered the function of an unknown, up to then, fragment of the ancient Mechanism, and he was one of the two designers of the Antikythera Mechanism’s accurate and functional replicas. In 2013, he founded a start- up company, for 3D design, 3D printing and 3D scanning services, as well as for the construction of accurate and functional replicas of the Antikythera Mechanism addressed mainly to museums and organizations. From 2019 to 2020, he worked as a researcher in the field of 3D scanning of cultural heritage, in the Cyprus University of Technology, where he was chosen for a European Funding (Marie S. Curie), between almost 1500 applicants globally.

In 2020, he returned to Greece and founded the voluntary summer school “Let’Scan”, where students of the Junior High School learned how to 3D scan cultural heritage’s objects, how to describe and document them, and how to develop an AR application for mobile devices. His involvement with the medical industry started in 2019 with his collaboration with the French company EvoMed Group Sarl, where he developed and designed laparoscopic surgical instruments. His long experience in mechanical and reverse engineering, is enhanced with his coding skills for application and software development, as well as automations.

In 2013 he started his PhD in the Aristotle University of the Thessaloniki, in the design and construction of a mechatronic model of the Antikythera Mechanism controlled by a portable device. He is also the developer, designer and owner of a patent pending invention, regarding the development of a new product in the field of cycling, as well as the designer of an Industrial Design, registered in the European Union Intellectual Property Office, regarding the reconstruction of the Antikythera Mechanism. He speaks English and German, he is in love with cycling, skiing and motorsports, and he is married.
