Marcel de Puit has a foundation in organic chemistry from the University of Glasgow and Leeds, leads Fingerprint Research at the Netherlands Forensic Institute and is an Associate Professor at TUDelft. His expertise lies in the development of forensic visualisation reagents and biological trace analysis, contributing significantly to the field through research supervision and editorial roles in scientific journals.
Paul Vulto is founder and CEO of MIMETAS, a pioneer and today’s market leader in the Organ-on-a-Chip space. MIMETAS develops miniaturized organ models in microfluidic chips that reflect the complexity of human physiology and disease. These models are utilized to better understand disease and develop novel therapies. As such they are a replacement of traditional animal tests.
Alexander Brinkman is professor of Quantum Transport in Matter at the University of Twente, and the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology. His group focuses on the synthesis and use of topological materials for applications in quantum computing and quantum energy storage.
Sylwester Latkowski obtained M.Sc. and Eng. degrees in optoelectronics and technical physics from West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Poland. His research in the Centre for High Speed Devices and Systems at Dublin City University, Ireland concerned with semiconductor mode-locked lasers, millimeter and terahertz generation and all-optical data treatment have led to the award of a PhD degree. He followed up his interests in photonics by joining Photonic Integration group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Netherlands. Currently he shares his position at TU/e with a role of scientific director at Photonic Integration Technology Center.
Karin Schroen is a professor at Wageningen University (WUR), chairing the Food Micro Technology group. We investigate things on the micrometre (and also nanometre) scale. Based on the insights gained, we develop new technologies for the production of food products and food ingredients.
Anka Mulder is president of Saxion University of Applied Sciences. She is also member of the board of the Dutch Association of Universities of Applied Sciences, of the AWTI (Advisory Council for Science, Technology and Innovation) that advises the Dutch government, and member of the supervisory board of Quantum Delta NL.
Ivan Stojanovic has a PhD from the University of Twente in medical cell biophysics and has extensive experience in biosensor and biosensor assay development. He developed biosensor assays on both traditional biosensor platforms and integrated photonic based sensors. He works as a business developer at Oost NL since January 2019 and has since then been involved in developing integrated photonic and semicon projects. He is involved with many national and international initiatives such as PhotonDelta, ChipTechTwente and the European Chips Act.
Hans Hilgenkamp will be the chairman of this meeting
Hans has been a professor at the University of Twente, and now heading his research group Interfaces and Correlated Electron Systems. Since February 1st this year he has been appointed the new scientific director of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology.
