SHORT BIOGRAPHY
"Frederik first obtained a Master's degree in micro-electronics engineering. Afterwards he joined the group of prof. Puers at ESAT-MICAS (KU Leuven) as a research assistant, focusing on micromachining process development, polymer MEMS and microfluidics. After obtaining the PhD degree, he became research fellow of the FWO, which allowed him to focus on researching high resolution neural implants. Meanwhile, he was also instrumental in expanding the lab through attracting new collaborations and grants. From 2017 - summer 2020 he was research expert on micro- and nanofabrication technology at the newly founded KU Leuven Nanocentre. Currently, he is co-founder of Revision Implant, a start-up company developing a high resolution visual prosthesis. He is also a visiting researcher at the MNS group and at NERF (Neuroelectronics Flanders, Imec). Frederik is (co)author of over 100 papers that appeared in peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings."
