Working at Imec in a nutshell
This presentation will briefly go into what Imec does, both in the Netherlands as well as in Belgium. At Imec-NL there is a group Wearable Health Systems which has many overlapping areas to BSS.
We are working on EEG, ECG, motion sensing, remote monitoring and coaching to name a few. We make miniature devices that go into patches but even contact lenses or tattoos with hardware or ingestibles are not far from the future.

When she came back she did her BSc and MSc in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Twente. After her masters, she started her PhD at the same University at the Biomedical Signals and Systems group of the Electrical Engineering department. Her PhD work was on feasibility of enhanced user control and feedback in upper leg prosthesis. Next, she moved to Eindhoven to work at the Holst Center for Imec Netherlands.
