Albert Aldenkamp

Albert Aldenkamp is a Part-time Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on brain MRI-imaging, neurodegeneration, and epilepsy, particularly exploring causal mechanisms in neurological disorders. He holds concurrent roles at Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC) and Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy Centre, where he leads research on epilepsy’s cognitive impacts and neuroimaging innovations.

• Academic Background: PhD in Cognition and Epilepsy (Groningen University, 1984). Previously Professor at Leiden and Amsterdam Universities. Since 2002, Chair of Epileptology and Neurocognition at MUMC.
• Research Collaboration: Leads a TU/e-MUMC-Kempenhaeghe MRI program integrating technological and clinical expertise. Focus areas include neuromodulation, neuropharmacology, and cognitive effects of epilepsy.

Research Interests: Neuroimaging techniques, neurodegenerative processes, epilepsy’s cognitive comorbidities, and diagnostic biomarker development for depression and autism. His work bridges signal processing with clinical applications to advance objective diagnoses.

Publications (2024–2025) emphasize functional MRI analysis for depression and autism, leveraging causal modeling and machine learning to identify neural network abnormalities linked to mental health conditions.

• Awards: Not explicitly listed, but recognized editorial roles in journals like Epilepsy and Behaviour and advisory roles in pharmaceutical industries.

Grants and Labs: Involved in TU/e-funded projects through the Signal Processing Systems group and EAISI Health initiative. Collaborates on translational research aiming to bridge engineering and clinical neuroscience.
