Dimitris Evangelakos is a Ph.D. candidate at the BioMEMS for Life Science laboratory, School of Chemical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens. His doctoral research focuses on developing an implantable smart microcatheter aimed at enabling localized drug delivery directly to brain tumor sites, with a primary focus on glioblastoma treatment. The goal of his project is to improve the efficacy and precision of intracranial chemotherapy by creating a minimally invasive system that delivers therapeutic agents with superior spatial accuracy.
He earned his Integrated Master's degree (M.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (2020–2026), where he developed a strong foundation in engineering design, mechanics, and biomedical device development.
Prior to his doctoral studies, Dimitris worked at Get 3D as a Project Manager and CAD Designer, where he was responsible for assessing the feasibility of producing custom-designed items, providing cost estimates, and designing products using various 3D modeling and CAD tools. This experience gave him hands-on expertise in design-for-manufacturing, project coordination, and client communication.
