BioCAS comes to the Netherlands in 2013

From Flits, the newsletter of the faculty of EEMCS of Delft University of Technology:

"Wouter Serdijn has successfully won the chairmanship and organisation of BioCAS 2013 for TU Delft. The annual IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS) Conference is the premier forum for bringing together scientists, engineers, medical researchers, and health care practitioners to drive these advances and share in cross-cutting research at the interface between circuits, systems, biology, and medicine."

The complete organizing team comprises international established and future leaders in the field, a.o. Firat Yazicioglu, Gianluca Setti, Tor Sverre Lande, Sylvie Renaud, Andreas Demosthenous, Ralph Etienne Cummings, Pau-Choo (Julia) Chung, Marion de Vlieger, Marijn van Dongen, Mark Stoopman and Senad Hiseni.

Objective measurement of the severity of tinnitus

Last Tuesday, dear Readers, Senad Hiseni, honorary member of the Biomedical Electronics Groups (as he seems to have good contacts with Barak Obama), won the Best Poster Award at the annual ICT.Open in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. The jury decided that the poster contained just the right amount of information, was very informative and nicely laid out, but also well presented by its presenter.

The poster is entitled "A Nano Power CMOS Tinnitus
Detector for a Fully Implantable Closed-Loop Neurodevice
" and has been derived from a paper that recently appeared in the proceedings of the 2011 BioCAS symposium, held in San Diego, November 10–12. 

Coauthors of the paper and poster are: Senad Hiseni, Chutham Sawigun, Sven Vanneste, Eddy van der Velden, Dirk de Ridder and Wouter A. Serdijn.

Congratulations!

Wouter

Gambatte ne!!!!

If you can still remember the ELCA festival, last time we made a donation for Japan and we played a song for Japanese friends.

This time the disaster moved to Thailand. Almost half of the country is being submerged and sadly it will last for more than a month from now.

Japanese friends also play a song for Thai people. It’s called ‘Gambatte ne’ which means ‘keep fighting.’

This is to warm up our ELCA festival 2012. We will have a brand new ELCA song and a special song for Thailand as well.

Again, we r not going to drink for nothing but part of our drinks will go for recovering Thailand and to tell Thai people ‘Gambatte ne!!!"

Be prepared for the first rehearsal.

Advancing frontiers without borders

"In today’s global village, access to the latest and
greatest advancements in science and engineering is only affordable to
one percent of the world population. Imagine what discoveries and
inventions could be made if instead everybody would have access to this
information. Open CourseWare is one of the ways to make the right
progress in this direction."

Wouter Serdijn, TU Delft Open CourseWare ambassador, since today
