Deborah C.W. Klooster

Deborah C.W. Klooster is a postdoctoral researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Electromagnetics for Care + Cure Research Lab (EM4Care+Cure). She collaborates with Ghent University (UGent), the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (BA CNBS), and Philips through the PerStim program. Her work bridges computational modeling of electromagnetic brain stimulation with multimodal neuroimaging to personalize neuromodulation protocols.

Research Focus: Dr. Klooster specializes in neuromodulation, particularly transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), aiming to address inter-individual variability in treatment outcomes for brain disorders. Her research integrates functional MRI, EEG, and signal processing to map brain characteristics and optimize stimulation efficacy.

Recent Trends: Her 2025 publications examine TMS-induced motor cortex modulation, tDCS mechanisms, and biomarker robustness in depression, highlighting interdisciplinary approaches in neuroengineering and clinical neuroscience.

Affiliations: She works within the PerStim program and Center for Care & Cure Technology Eindhoven, with past roles at UGent funded by the Flanders Research Organization.
