What's not to like, an inspiring lecture given by an enthusiastic professor. An upbeat message and decades of research distilled into a single slide.

While working as a member of the Education Team, she carried out doctoral research on the influence of electrical fields on brain cells.

If you have missed the Inaugural Lecture of Prof.dr.ir. Maarten Paulides on June 3^rd you can watch it here>>. The title of his lecture is ‘Progress in Waves’. During the lecture, he spoke about the history of the biomedical electromagnetics field, the results of his research on hyperthermia therapy, and his vision on the future of the field. He also highlighted the need for collaboration, particularly between the three sides of ‘The Golden Triangle’. Advancement in all three comes in waves, and waves can reinforce each other. In his appointment, he is hoping to see progress via these reinforced waves.
