Ebrahim Yarali joined the Moroni Lab in the Complex Tissue Regeneration (CTR) Department at the MERLN institute in April 2025 as a postdoctoral researcher. His work focuses on developing acoustic-responsive 3D metamaterials to promote skeletal regeneration through both chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation. He is passionate about exploring how advanced mechanical modeling, rational microarchitectural design, and acoustic waves can contribute to overcoming healthcare challenges, such as osteoarthritis.

Ebrahim completed his PhD in April 2025 at Delft University of Technology, within the Departments of Biomechanical Engineering and Precision and Microsystems Engineering. His doctoral research focused on developing 3D meta-biomaterials for regulating bone cell behavior through a multidisciplinary approach, combining rational design of mechanical and morphometric properties, microscale 3D and 4D printing, and biological assessments. With a background in Mechanical Engineering (BSc and MSc, with focuses on manufacturing and mechanical modeling), Ebrahim expanded his expertise into tissue engineering, inspired by the potential of mechanical and material engineering to advance regenerative medicine approaches.
