After completing my studies in Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology, I pursued the two-year designer program “Design and Technology of Instrumentation” at the Stan Ackermans Institute. Subsequently, I conducted my doctoral research in the Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurology departments at Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam. My research focused on the application and evaluation of surface-EMG methods in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). During my PhD, my interest was sparked in understanding nerve function and the mechanisms of dysfunction using novel measurement techniques.

My research focuses on the development and application of advanced electrophysiological techniques in patients with conditions such as ALS and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Additionally, I analyze these electrophysiological measurements using mathematical models to interpret the underlying mechanisms of nerve function. Through this work, we aim to gain more insight into the disease mechanisms within the nerves, ultimately paving the way for new treatments in the future.
