Expert in Forensic Biomechanical Engineering and Medical Device Innovation
Associated with :
Delft University of TechnologyArjo Loeve serves as a tenured lecturer in the BioMechanical Engineering department at TU Delft and coordinates the Co van Ledden Hulsebosch Center for forensic science and medicine. Since 2006, he has conducted research in clinical technology, expanding into forensic engineering in 2008. His Ph.D. research focused on rigidifiable shaft-guides for flexible endoscopes, while simultaneously improving trace collection methods for rape victims. His research encompasses two main areas: analyzing failures of medical-technological systems and trauma mechanisms, and developing forensic technology. His work as an expert investigator on bacterial outbreak cases has influenced worldwide changes in device design and hospital hygiene policies. Recent innovations include specialized forensic sample collection tools and contactless evidence photography systems. Through close collaboration with forensic institutes and the Dutch Police, he continues to advance the field of forensic engineering, while his role as a founder of the "TUDelft Forensics" community strengthens the connection between engineering and forensic science.
