RESEARCH PROFILE
Pierre Cluitmans is Associate Professor in the Signal Processing Systems group, specializing in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. He started his journey in this expertise with his PhD thesis on neurophysiological monitoring of anesthetic depth. Since then, he has worked at TU/e, on a wide range of projects in neurophysiological and neurometric diagnostics, monitoring and treatment and training based on model-based biofeedback.
As senior scientific staff member at Kempenhaeghe, Cluitmans is involved with scientific projects on epilepsy, sleep/wake disorders and neurocognitive disorders. He founded the company CED, providing neurometric diagnostic support for children with learning and development disorders, in 2003.
Cluitmans coached 12 PhD students and more than 100 trainees and MSc students and teaches courses on electrophysiology, patient monitoring, neurometrics, network theory, signal & system analysis, and more. Cluitmans is also very involved in education development and coordination. He was a member of the Study-program committee of the Electrical Engineering Department (2013-2015) is now the coordinator of the Healthcare Systems Design PDEng program.
Cluitmans was the chair of the Eindhoven department of the Dutch Liberal Democrats (D66) from 2010 to 2014.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Pierre Cluitmans holds an MSc (1983) and PhD (1990) from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
