Biomedical research engineer in the field of implantable cardiac electronic devices.My responsibilities included:○ Development of several prototype subcutaneous cardiac sensors (electrophysiological and hemodynamic).○ Testing and evaluation of prototype sensors via their acute implantation in various animal models.○ Design novel digital signal processing algorithms in MATLAB for the analysis of the recorded physiological signals for diagnostic and therapy-guidance… Show more Biomedical research engineer in the field of implantable cardiac electronic devices.My responsibilities included:○ Development of several prototype subcutaneous cardiac sensors (electrophysiological and hemodynamic).○ Testing and evaluation of prototype sensors via their acute implantation in various animal models.○ Design novel digital signal processing algorithms in MATLAB for the analysis of the recorded physiological signals for diagnostic and therapy-guidance purposes.From the research I carried out at MicroPort CRM I published several scientific articles and patents. These are listed further down in the 'Publications' section.Further, the research represented my doctoral thesis, which itself formed part of a larger European Commission-funded (Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant) collaboration known as 'WiBEC' (Wireless In-Body Environment Communication). The collaboration included several private enterprises, hospitals and universities across Europe. Show less

I was one of sixteen Early Stage Researchers (i.e. doctoral candidates) of the 'WiBEC' (Wireless In-Body Environment Communication) Innovative Training Network funded by the European Commission.I was responsible for presenting the research achievements of the doctoral researchers who worked in the field of cardiac rhythm management to the European Commission's designated project officer and at the closing ceremony/conference given at the 'La Fe' University Hospital in Valencia, Spain.

An associate R&D engineer position at the Medtronic Bakken Research Centre in Maastricht. My responsibilities included working in different neuromodulation project teams to: help design new clinical and pre-clinical studies, provide advice regarding the acquisition hardware for specific studies, process large amounts of data (ECGs and nerve recordings) and develop/use software tools (primarily on Matlab) to aid in the processing of said data. I also partook in guided autopsies for the… Show more An associate R&D engineer position at the Medtronic Bakken Research Centre in Maastricht.

A (paid) internship dealing with metal-based additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies. The company primarily deals with aerospace clients and had me investigating the technology for medical applications, in particular biomaterial applications such as total hip arthroplasties. The advantage of this technology in this field is its ability to custom-tune the porosity of the prototype to promote bone integration. The machine used to perform the actual manufacturing was a Renishaw… Show more A (paid) internship dealing with metal-based additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies.
