RESEARCH PROFILE
Dook van Mechelen is an Associate Professor with the Signal Processing Systems (SPS) group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on developing novel sensing concepts, connecting basic research in condensed matter physics and photonics with novel concepts of physics-based signal processing to relevant application domains in security, agriculture and industry. His expertise ranges from optical spectroscopy, with an emphasis on the THz range, to industrial sensor development, signal processing and condensed matter physics.
The future autonomous world is in need of novel sensors concepts, consisting of smart signal processing and advanced technologies, to be validated by society.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Dook van Mechelen received his M.Sc. degree (with honors) in Physics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2005 and earned his PhD in experimental Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 2010. From 2011 until 2020, Dook worked at ABB Corporate Research, Switzerland, where his research matured THz spectroscopy for sensing applications. In September 2020, Dook was appointed Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
