معرفی
Wiendelt Steenbergen is a Full Professor at the University of Twente's Faculty of Science and Technology and TechMed Centre, with over 367 research outputs and an h-index of 47. His work bridges biomedical engineering and clinical medicine through advanced optical imaging techniques.
His primary research domains include:
- Photoacoustic imaging for breast cancer detection (Twente Photoacoustic Mammoscope)
- Laser speckle contrast imaging for microcirculation monitoring in dermatology and surgery
- Motion artifact mitigation in handheld optical devices
- Multi-modal imaging platforms for liver cancer treatment
- Optical diagnostics for psoriasis and burn assessment
Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a clear clinical translation trajectory, emphasizing practical handheld systems for real-time blood flow monitoring during DIEP flap reconstruction and psoriasis treatment, alongside ex-vivo cancer models. His engineering solutions specifically target clinical pain points like motion artifacts and multi-wavelength optimization.
Steenbergen has supervised 25 students and actively collaborates through the TechMed Centre, an interdisciplinary hub where engineers, clinicians, and scientists co-develop medical technologies. His conference activities include keynote presentations on laser speckle applications and optical diagnostics at international biomedical engineering events.
