Dr .Simina Mariana Moroz | Mechanics of Functional and Smart Structures | Research Excellence Award

PhD Student at Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy | Romania

Dr .Simina Mariana Moroz is a dedicated cardiologist whose academic and clinical journey began at Colegiul Național “Dragoș Vodă” in Sighetu Marmației, where a strong foundation in mathematics and computer science shaped an analytical and disciplined approach to medical science. She continued her professional development at the “Victor Babeș” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timișoara, completing her medical degree in General Medicine and later advancing into doctoral studies while building a respected clinical career in cardiology. Her commitment to cardiovascular medicine is reflected not only in her clinical training but also in her active participation in national and international scientific events, where she consistently presented research focused on transcatheter aortic valve replacement, arterial stiffness, ventricular and valvular function, and cardiometabolic dynamics. Throughout her career, she has delivered multiple poster presentations at prestigious cardiology and hypertension congresses, highlighting topics such as The Impact of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement on the Dynamics of Arterial Hypertension in the Elderly, Gender Disparities and the Impact of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Caucasian Patients, The Influence of Relative Parietal Thickness on Post-Interventional Hemoglobin Levels in Aortic Stenosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, The Role of Estimated Pulse Wave Velocity in Assessing the Impact of TAVR on Arterial Stiffness and Cardiac Function in Aortic Stenosis, and The Impact of TAVR on Valvular and Ventricular Function and Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Aortic Stenosis. She has also authored scientific articles including Crosstalk Between Metabolic Biomarkers and Pulse Wave Analysis in Hypertensive Patients and Clinical Significance of TAPSE/PSAP Ratio in Risk Stratification for Aortic Stenosis Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. Beyond medicine, she enjoys reading, painting, tennis, horseback riding, and traveling, maintaining a balanced life enriched by diverse interests and continuous learning.

Mr. Maximilian Gehring | Software Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Research Assistant at Technical University of Darmstadt | Germany

Mr. Maximilian Gehring is a distinguished German researcher and doctoral candidate at the Technical University of Darmstadt, specializing in the integration of digital technologies into construction logistics and intelligent infrastructure systems. His academic journey combines industrial engineering and civil engineering expertise with a strong focus on digital transformation, automation, and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Through his ongoing doctoral research, Further development of digital construction logistics: Design of a digital twin framework for automated construction logistics management, Gehring advances the field of smart construction by developing scalable frameworks that enhance data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency. His scholarly contributions include the publication IoT-altimeter in smart pallets for material tracking on multi-storey construction sites, which explores innovative Internet of Things solutions for improving material tracking and site logistics. In ConLogAI – Concept for an AI-enabled platform for construction logistics scheduling, he presents a robust artificial intelligence framework that optimizes scheduling and resource allocation in complex construction environments. His work Unlocking BIM Potential: Empowering Collaboration Through an Open Source-Powered BIM API Platform for Building Lifecycle Management highlights his commitment to open-source collaboration and interoperability in BIM-driven ecosystems. Additionally, his paper Data fusion approach for a digital construction logistics twin underscores his expertise in merging multiple data streams to build comprehensive digital representations of construction processes. Recognized for his academic excellence, Gehring achieved second place in the RKW Competence Centre’s ‘AufITgebaut’ competition for his master’s thesis on construction site logistics optimization. With advanced programming proficiency in Python, C#, and SQL, alongside experience in tools such as Revit, Docker, and Unity, he bridges engineering, computer science, and management to drive innovation in smart construction and digital infrastructure systems.
