About Me
Boudewijn van den Berg was born in Gouda, the Netherlands, in 1993. He obtained his Bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering cum laude and with honors in 2014 at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. In 2018, he received his Master degrees in Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Twente, with an emphasis on signal processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning in his curriculum. He was awarded with the University of Twente Graduation Award for the best Master thesis of the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science in the year 2018 for his work on the analysis of electroencephalography data using linear mixed models. Between 2018 - 2021, he pursued his PhD as part of the Dutch NOCICEPT project at the Department of Biomedical Signals and Systems at the University of Twente. During his PhD, he worked on the development of tools to characterize neural processing of pain based on bioelectric brain signals.
