Alexander Bertrand is Professor at the Electrical Engineering Department (ESAT) of KU Leuven, Belgium. He received the Ph.D. degree in Engineering Sciences (Electrical Engineering) from KU Leuven, in 2011. His research involves signal processing algorithm design with a focus on biomedical sensor arrays, such as electroencephalography (EEG), neural implants, ultrasound probes, and body-sensor networks. Applications include brain-computer interfaces, auditory and visual attention decoding, cognitive control of hearing prostheses, and distributed neuro-sensor networks. He also conducts research in generic signal processing techniques, with a focus on multi-channel and distributed signal processing, spatial filtering, and signal enhancement.

Maarten De Vos has a joint appointment as Professor in the Departments of Engineering and Medicine at KU Leuven after being Associate Professor at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, and Junior Professor at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. He obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium (2009). His academic work focuses on AI for health, innovative biomedical monitoring and signal analysis for daily life applications, in particular the derivation of personalised biosignatures of patient health from data acquired via wearable sensors and the incorporation of smart analytics into unobtrusive systems.
