Group Lead of the Dynamic Field Subsystems group of Philips MRI R&D Hardware (25+FTE). We are responsible for the design, synthesis, integration and verification of those components in Philips MRI Scanners that are related to low frequency and RF fields, i.e. Gradient Coils and Power Chain, RF System Coils and Power Chain, Magnet Mechanics and more.

PhD project at the Hyperthermia unit of the Radiotherapy department of the Erasmus MC Cancer Center in Rotterdam. Hyperthermia is a cancer treatment in which the tumor is electromagnetically heated into a range of 40-44deg C, which enhances the effectiveness of radiotherapy. The goal of this project was to improve the effectiveness of our Head and Neck Hyperthermia treatment by using pre-treatment temperature measurements to calibrate our treatment planning. One important aspect of this project… Show more PhD project at the Hyperthermia unit of the Radiotherapy department of the Erasmus MC Cancer Center in Rotterdam. Hyperthermia is a cancer treatment in which the tumor is electromagnetically heated into a range of 40-44deg C, which enhances the effectiveness of radiotherapy. The goal of this project was to improve the effectiveness of our Head and Neck Hyperthermia treatment by using pre-treatment temperature measurements to calibrate our treatment planning. One important aspect of this project has been the design and experimental validation of a MRI compatible hyperthermia applicator for MRI based temperature imaging. Show less

Graduation project on the improvement of Hypertermia through the use of dynamic steering of electromagnetic fields.

Student notebook software and limited hardware support and troubleshooting. Small, single operator help desk without strict case protocols, which allowed me to extend the range of treated cases and use my own creativity to solve them.

Internship on the simulation of real life electromagnetic multi path environments in a mode-stirred reverberation chamber.
