Dr Stan Von Euw is an assistant professor of Chemistry within the School of Biological and Chemical Science (SBCS), College of Science and Engineering. Stan completed all his education in Paris at Sorbonne Université. He received a B.Sc in Chemistry in 2009, a M.Sc. in Materials Chemistry in 2011, and last, a Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry in 2014. During his M.Sc. studies, Stan spent 6 months as an intern in the department of chemistry at the University of Florida (UF) thanks to the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programme funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). His Ph.D. grant was funded by theFrench Ministry of Higher Educationand Research. His Ph.D studies were completed at the Collège de France within the Chemistry of Condensed Matter Laboratory (LCMCP). Stan carried out his Ph.D studies in the field of bone biomineralization (his thesis is titled; Bone biomineralization: from the structural characterization of the mineral phase to its 3D organization ) for which he was awarded the Nine Choucroun Prize of The Edmond de Rothschild Foundation in 2015. Subsequently, Stan enrolled as a postdoctoral researcher at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA. At Rutgers, Stans research activities were centred on coral biomineralization and were undertaken in the Environmental Biophysics and Molecular Ecology (EBME) programme. In 2018, Stan was granted an individual Marie Curie fellowship from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Stan carried out his Marie Curie fellowship within the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity College Dublin. In September 2021, Stan joined the Mechanobiology and Medical Devices Research Group (MMDRG) at University of Galway as a postdoctoral researcher and secured his current position the following year.

Dr Von Euw has recently established the Bio-inspired Mineralization Laboratory (BIOML) in the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at University of Galway. BIOML will develop a new way of fabricating biomimetic inorganic-organic hybrid materials embracing an inter-disciplinary approach with a strong focus on the interplay between biomineralization, crystal growth, tissue engineering, and analytical amp; materials chemistry. Research activities within BIOML are split across three complementary research themes as follows. Theme 1 aims to advance our understanding of non-classical pathways to crystallization and especially the amorphous-to-crystal phase transformation of solid, metastable, amorphous inorganic nanoparticles. Theme 2 consists of developing innovative mineralization strategies to engineer unique biomimetic inorganic-organic hybrid materials and especially human bone-like materials with sizes, levels of mineralization and biomimetic traits that have not been achieved thus far. Theme 3 seeks to open new perspectives in healthcare by evaluating the bone regeneration potential of unique biomaterials in preclinical studies.
