Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands
I am driven to further our understanding of cardiac arrhythmias, and to improve the diagnosis and therapy of patients with heart rhythm disorders. As an assistant professor at Maastricht University Medical Centre and a senior scientist at Philips Research, I combine my scientific curiosity with the clinical need for valorization. Ultimately, I aim to use my dual background as biomedical engineer and medical doctor to bring the fields of industrial engineering, academic science and clinical medicine closer together.
After external stays at the Liryc lab in Bordeaux and the Experimental Cardiology lab in Amsterdam, I have returned to Maastricht University to continue studying the mechanisms of unexplained sudden cardiac arrest.
Senior Scientist at the Multiphysics & Optics group and the In Body Systems group of Philips Research, focusing on cardiac electrophysiology.
In AMC, I have worked with prof. Ruben Coronel and prof. Arthur Wilde, investigating arrhythmia mechanisms in sudden cardiac death with special attention for repolarization abnormalities.
At the Liryc lab in Bordeaux, I'm doing ex vivo experiments investigating the electrical substrate for sudden cardiac arrhythmias.
In translational research, I employ novel imaging and modeling methods to better understand the development of cardiac arrhythmias in patients, in order to better diagnose, treat and prevent these.
