Aurélie Carlier is associate professor at the Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (MaCSBio), Maastricht University, the Netherlands. She received her MSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2010 and her PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2014, both at the KU Leuven, Belgium. During her PhD she also visited the Systems Biology Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. Her research interests encompass the multiscale computational modelling of biological processes, with a particular focus on bone tissue engineering applications and cell-biomaterial interactions. Her research achievements have been awarded with a number of distinctions, including the Student Award of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB, 2012), the Reinhart Heinrich Doctoral Thesis Award by the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB, 2015) and the Best Doctoral Thesis Award by the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB, 2015). She has also been elected as member of the Tissue Engineering Young Investigator Council (TEN YIC, 2016) and was also New Scientist Wetenschapstalent 2021 finalist. She received a prestigious VENI (2016) and VIDI (2025) career development grant from the Dutch Science Foundation, Dutch Kidney Foundation Success Accelerator grant (2021) and an ERC STG (2024) to develop new methodologies for automated model construction.
