Academic Achievements
- He has published numerous academic articles and has been involved in several research projects, such as: signal processing for hearing aids and cochlear implants (in collaboration with Prof. Wouters), objective measures of speech intelligibility using EEG, auditory attention detection using EEG with a focus on hearing aid applications (in collaboration with Prof. Bertrand), modeling of the auditory system using deep learning (in collaboration with Prof. Van hamme), auditory processing of people with aphasia (in collaboration with Prof. Vandermosten), and diagnostics of the auditory system and brain-computer-interfaces for people with disorders of consciousness (in collaboration with Prof. Laureys). For detailed publications and projects, please refer to his personal webpage.
Research Experience
- He started his Ph.D. at ExpORL in 2004; from 2008 to 2010, he was a post-doctoral researcher at ExpORL; from 2010 to 2012, he was a post-doctoral researcher at The Bionics Institute, Melbourne, Australia, with an International Outgoing Fellowship grant (Marie Curie, FP7); from 2012 to 2013, he returned to ExpORL as a post-doctoral researcher; from 2013 to 2018, he was a tenure track research professor (BOF-ZAP) at ExpORL; from 2018 to 2022, he was an associate professor at ExpORL; since 2022, he has been a full-time tenured professor ('hoogleraar') at ExpORL.
Education
- In 2004, he received a Master's degree in electrotechnical engineering from KU Leuven/ESAT, with a thesis on 'Modelling of the singing voice'. In 2008, he obtained his Ph.D. from ExpORL, titled 'Perception of binaural localization cues with combined electric and acoustic hearing'.
Background
- His research interests include objective measures of hearing (including EEG-based measures), auditory prostheses (including smart hearing devices), and general audiology and auditory neuroscience. His work follows a multidisciplinary approach that links electrical engineering with audiology and neuroscience.
Miscellany
- Aims to create a work environment where people can develop themselves both personally and scientifically.
