Fennie van der Graaf

CEO

I am a biomedical engineer and I love implementing AI products in healthcare. My entrepreneurial experience includes Draper University (San Mateo), Venture Lab North, and joining the international Sigma Squared and Voyager founder communities. I am finishing my PhD at RadboudUMC in AI & Lung Cancer and I have previously worked in project management and R&D roles at Thirona, UMCG, Philips, and Cymo BV. 

Fun Fact: I love travelling, I have visited 40 countries and plan to visit many more!

Matei

CFO

I am a researcher in chemistry and I am passionate about bridging collaborations between academia and industry, and bringing innovative ideas to the application phase. My entrepreneurial experience includes Venture Lab North and the Philips Innovation Award. I am finishing my PhD in Chemistry at University of Groningen, with a focus on methodology development and sustainability. Previously, I worked at Symeres (CRO for the pharma industry) on the research and development side. 

Fun fact: I love walking and discovering the nature around me – I even walked the Nijmegen 4Daagse in 2024 which is the biggest marching event in the world.

Giuseppe Marinelli

CTO

I’m an embedded, AI, full-stack engineer who loves building impactful AI products. After relocating to the Netherlands, I pursued my BSc and MSc in AI. My professional experience includes roles as a product owner and software engineer at a Dutch scale-up, marXact, and as a full-stack developer in two Italian companies. I’m a passionate self-learner who enjoys tinkering with Arduino projects and developing AI-powered applications in my free time. 

Fun Fact: I used to be a member of two rock and jazz bands during my college years!

Mohaddeseh Keshavarz

Intern

I am an AI student at the University of Verona with a background in Biomedical Engineering and I joined Aevai Health as an Erasmus intern. I am passionate about applying machine learning and medical robotics to enhance diagnostics and patient care. Initially drawn to medicine, I realized that technology could play a crucial role in reducing medical decision errors and enhancing patient care. This led me to explore AI’s potential in diagnostics, automation, and medical imaging, where innovation meets real-world impact.

Fun Fact: I once considered studying literature! Even now, I enjoy storytelling as a way to explore ideas, much like AI.
