DESCRIPTION:Markus Reiterer\, Ph.D.\; Sr. Prin. Materials Scientist | Tech
 nical Fellow\; Corporate Science\, Technology and Innovation\, Medtronic\n
 Every product that is not software or service\, needs to be made out of ma
 terials\, which makes materials science a key enabling technology and a fo
 cus area at Medtronic’s corporate research center. Of special interest a
 re materials processing\, i.e.\, joining and welding\, materials solutions
  that enable disruptive therapies\, and methods to predict the performance
  of a device in the human body\, which is defined by fatigue and aging beh
 avior and its interaction with the biological surroundings. To make predic
 tions of the performance of a device\, we need to understand the distribut
 ion of use condition and strength. Computer modeling is a powerful tool to
  make such predictions. At Medtronic\, we have used sophisticated simulati
 ons to accelerate product development and as evidence in regulatory submis
 sions. In my talk\, I will show through examples\, how we use cutting edge
  materials science and industry leading computer modeling technology to br
 ing life-changing medical devices to the market to the benefit of our pati
 ents.\n\nMarkus Reiterer\, grow up in Austria and received both his Dipl.-
 Ing. (M.S.) and Doctorate (Ph.D.) from the University of Leoben in Austria
 . During his graduate studies\, Markus was employed as Research Associate 
 at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Mechanics of Materials in Freiburg\, Germa
 ny. In 2004 Markus joined Sandia Natl. Labs as Post-Doctoral Appointee\, w
 here he continued his research in computational simulation of sintering of
  ceramics. He is an internationally recognized expert in mechanics of gran
 ular media and theory of sintering. Since joining Medtronic in 2006\, Mark
 us has been subject matter experts in many projects critical to quality or
  revenue. He is known as expert for FEA of materials with complex behavior
 \, high cycle fatigue\, welding and joining\, and tribology. Markus is a m
 ember of the Pan-Medtronic working group for computer modeling and simulat
 ion. He has been at the forefront of the development of realistic human si
 mulation at Medtronic. In 2015 he co-authored a roadmap on “In Silico Cl
 inical Trials” which was product of the Avicenna Coordination Support Ac
 tion. Since the inauguration\, Markus board member of the Avicenna Allianc
 e for Predictive Medicine. In 2017 Medtronic joined the Advanced Regenerat
 ive Manufacturing Institute (ARMI)\, where Markus represents Medtronic’s
  interests. Markus has been successfully leading several Medtronic - unive
 rsity collaborations\, given multiple invited talks at international confe
 rence\, co-organized several international conferences\, published 18 peer
 -reviewed papers\, frequently serves as journal reviewer and was a special
  edition editor for Frontiers in Physiology. Markus holds 9 patents. In th
 e past couple of years\, Markus has gained interest in non-technical aspec
 ts of problem solving and concepts of critical thinking.
