Henrie PA van den Boom

Henrie PA van den Boom is a University Lecturer and Assistant Professor in the Electro-Optical Communication Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology. Affiliated with the Institute for Photonic Integration (IPI), his work bridges telecommunications engineering, fiber optics, and biomedical sensor innovation.

• Key Expertise: Electrical Engineering, Communication Systems, Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) applications
• Institutional Role: Lecturer in optical fiber communications and basic telecommunications
• Leadership: Treasurer of IEEE Photonics Benelux Chapter

Research Focus: Specializing in radio-over-fiber systems and novel POF-based sensor applications, particularly for:

• Home network architectures
• Patient monitoring systems
• Low-cost optical transmission
• Graded-index fiber optimization

Collaborative Projects: Key participant in pan-European photonics initiatives like POF PLUS and ALPHA. Recent work combines optical engineering with clinical applications for preterm infant monitoring. Publications highlight POF's advantages in bend resistance, cost efficiency, and gigabit transmission capabilities.
