Carola van Pul

Carola van Pul is a Professor (Part-time) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), specializing in Clinical Physics with a focus on medical technology for mother-and-child care. She is a clinical physicist at Maxima Medical Center (MMC) since 2006 and actively contributes to research in neonatal intensive care monitoring, alarm systems, and patient safety. Her work integrates machine learning and data mining to improve diagnostic tools and reduce clinical alarm fatigue.

Education: MSc in Applied Physics from Delft University of Technology, PhD on Diffusion Tensor Imaging in neonates at TU/e. She trains in medical physics at MMC and collaborated on neonatal brain imaging projects at the University Medical Center Utrecht.

Research Interests: Sensors and patient monitoring systems, alarm management in ICU settings, serious gaming in medical education, and biomedical diagnostics. She leads projects in the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC), focusing on perinatal care and cardiovascular innovations.

Key Activities: Teaches courses on medical technology, NMR/MRI imaging, and care-and-cure innovations. Active in journals like IEEE J Biomed Health Inform and Pediatric Research. Her research groups include the Biomedical Diagnostics Lab and Transport in Permeable Media.

Collaborations: e/MTIC partnership between TU/e, Philips, MMC, Catharina Hospital, and Kempenhaeghe. Her work is funded by Dutch and Chinese grants, including NWO and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
