About Us

Alexandr holds an MEng in Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Glasgow and is currently pursuing a partnership PhD, focused on advanced piezoelectric materials for high-power ultrasonic applications. During his studies, he founded a design and manufacturing start-up, gaining hands-on experience across the full product development cycle. At Nami Surgical, Alexandr works as an R&D Engineer on the development of ultrasonic scalpels, leading transducer design and materials characterisation.

Bartas holds a PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the University of Glasgow in 2023, where his research focused on integrated circuits and systems for microultrasound capsule endoscopy.

With a specialisation in analog electronics and mixed-signal system design, he brings extensive experience across the full electronics development lifecycle — from early prototyping through to testing and product finalisation.

At Nami Surgical, Bartas works on the electronics for ultrasound transducer characterisation and drive systems. His background in ultrasound-specific circuit design allows him to bridge deep transducer knowledge with precision electronics, contributing to the development of the company’s surgical ultrasound solutions.

Jenny holds a BSc in Electronic Engineering in 2018 from South East Technological University (Ireland) and has over 8 years of expertise in medical device design, risk management and regulatory compliance. Now Product Development Manager at Nami Surgical, she is responsible for project management, early guidance on design and development, risk management activities and documentation and QMS management.

Jack is a piezoelectric transducer specialist with a background in piezoelectric material characterisation and transducer design. His PhD was in designing a miniaturised HIFU transducer for robotic surgery. Some early research work includes cavitation enabled drug delivery, HIFU, LIPUS, gas coupled flow metering and next generation piezoelectric materials. Now, Jack is with Nami surgical as the mechanical team leader and working on the next generation of miniaturised ultrasonic surgical scalpels for robotic delivery.  

Alexandru holds a Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, where he specialized in ultrasonic imaging systems, medical electronics, and advanced sensing technologies.

He has experience spanning both industry and academic research, with a background in medical devices, robotics-assisted healthcare technologies, electronics development, software tools, and system integration for complex multidisciplinary systems.

At Nami Surgical, Alexandru contributes to the electronic system architecture design, analog and mixed-signal circuit development, software and data acquisition tools, system integration, verification, and experimental evaluation.

Kiara holds a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Edinburgh.  At Nami Surgical, she works across marketing, product development and funding initiatives. With a strong biological background and an interest in translating life sciences innovation into commercial success.

Kirsten holds a BSc in Biomedical Science from the University of Strathclyde and is the Clinical Research Associate at Nami.
