As a design engineer, Hans Timmermans strives to perfect the art of intervention through the development of prototypes. He joined the Dotter Institute in 1991 as a senior research associate. His current work involves an integrated design of graft, cover and delivery systems. Timmermans’ expertise is in self- and balloon-expandable stents and covered stents, including covered stents for TIPS and for the aorta; occluding devices; delivery systems; and materials and processes. He has contributed to papers on endografts and TIPS tract covered stents.

In his spare time, Timmermans enjoys walking, reading, music, and theater.
