Partner
Luca completed both his Bachelor’s in Sociology and his Master’s in Economics at the University of Trento (Italy). Combining passion with work, he sailed 50’000 miles around the world. Settling back on the European continent, he became Mo’s first collaborator, and since then has co-authored a number of publications on orthopaedic surgery, and contributed substantially to many other studies.
Ahmed Elsaifi HBSc
Research Scientist
Ahmed earned his Honours Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and Chemistry from the University of Toronto (Canada), graduating with High Distinction. During his studies, he worked as Research Assistant, gaining experience in data collection and scientific writing. He also served as Head Teaching Assistant for multiple statistics courses, where he refined his skills in scientific communication, mentoring, and data analysis. Following graduation, he completed a cross-functional rotation in the pharmaceutical industry, exposing him to clinical and regulatory environments. Now working as Research Scientist at ReSurg, Ahmed is excited to contribute to advancing surgical research through evidence-based investigation and collaboration.
Géraldine Triomphe MSc

After a few years as a Research Engineer and IP expert at Phonak Acoustic Implants, Thomas started his entrepreneurial career in a startup incubator and has since 2011 been involved in a variety of ventures in the field of MedTech, metallurgy, IT and precision manufacturing. Thomas has been involved with the administration of ReSurg since it was founded and supports the team with innovative and complex studies.
Gerjon Hannink MSc, PhD
Chief Scientific Advisor
Gerjon obtained his Master’s degrees in Epidemiology and Biomedical Sciences from the Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands), where he also completed his PhD. His primary interests are study design, methodology and statistical methods. If that sounds like a bunch of gibberish to you, just remember that data science is the sexiest job of the 21st century. He has co-authored more than 100 scientific papers and book chapters.
