پژوهشگر
Bart van Erp serves as a University Researcher within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, actively contributing to the Signal Processing Systems (SPS) group and Bayesian Autonomous Intelligent Systems lab (BIASlab). He completed his PhD in June 2025 under Prof. Bert de Vries with dissertation work on automated Bayesian hearing aid design. His academic foundation includes: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, cum laude (2015-2018) Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, cum laude with honors (2018-2020), supported by ALSP scholarship Van Erp's research centers on Bayesian inference frameworks for real-world signal processing challenges, particularly in hearing aid personalization and autonomous systems. He pioneers message-passing algorithms on factor graphs to implement variational free energy minimization, enabling adaptive user preference learning and energy-efficient control systems. His work bridges theoretical probabilistic modeling with clinical applications in hearing impairment solutions. Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on Bayesian neural networks and active inference methodologies, with increasing emphasis on practical implementations for assistive devices. Key trends include Dirichlet process applications for context-aware systems and depth estimation improvements in uncertainty-aware computer vision. Recognition includes: ALSP scholarship for Master's excellence As project member in the CoHear initiative (2017-2025), he contributed to collaborative hearing device design while securing open-source development through ReactiveMP.jl. Though newly minted as a PhD, he has not yet supervised graduate students but actively supports university education (0.3 FTE during studies). His dual role as Product Lead/Co-Founder at Lazy Dynamics BV since May 2023 demonstrates translational research impact. Within BIASlab, van Erp drives the integration of probabilistic programming with medical device innovation, maintaining strong industry partnerships in hearing technology through GN Hearing collaborations and open-source tooling.
