 |
Eindhoven University of Technologie (TU/e), Eindhoven
Mutual projects as well as internships that are mentored by both TU/e and Kempenhaeghe. Recently Tamara Nijsen completed her Ph.D. programme on the subject of accelerometry. Also Andrei Sazonov is completing his Ph.D. programme on seizure detection from the electroencephalogram. At the moment Hobo and the SPS and SAN chairs of TU/e are involved in the Vitruvius project. TU/e and Kempenhaeghe enjoy an intense cooperation. |
