With deep sorrow and concern, the NCCR Co-Me regrets to inform you
that Markus Meier died on Sunday, April 17, 2005, by an accident.
Markus Meier, Professor of Machine Design, Head of the Centre of
Product Development and Member of the Department of Mechanical and
Process Engineering has been the Leader of two subprojects
concentrating on haptic interfaces for open surgery simulation and on
robotics in cardiovascular surgery. With his enthusiasm and
exceptional expertise Markus Meier has inspired the entire Co-Me
network, and many researchers have profited from his support and
advice. We will miss his corporate citizenship in teaching, his
professional competence in the exploitation of the scientific results
and his spirit of entrepreneurship.
Too early, his successful work has come to an abrupt halt. The
Co-Me members will bear Markus Meier in best remembrance.
