About
Sander Boelders holds a Hospitality contract as a Researcher in the Department of Cognitive Science and AI at Tilburg University's School of Humanities and Digital Sciences. His work focuses on cognitive functioning in brain tumor patients, leveraging medical imaging and predictive modeling. He has published extensively on glioma and meningioma research, clinical variables analysis, and AI applications in healthcare.
Key research areas include neuro-oncology outcomes, post-surgical cognitive recovery, and machine learning-driven medical image segmentation. His 2025 doctoral thesis explored predictive frameworks for cognitive functioning in brain tumor patients. Collaborations span institutions in Italy and the Netherlands, addressing interdisciplinary challenges in healthcare technology.
Boelders' recent work emphasizes the limitations of traditional clinical variables in predicting patient outcomes, advocating for advanced imaging and AI integration. He has contributed to open-access datasets and peer-reviewed journals like Neuro-Oncology and Assessment. His research bridges cognitive science, neurology, and artificial intelligence to improve clinical decision-making.
