Michael Bui is a PhD candidate at the Health Technology and Services Research section. He has a BSc degree in Creative Technology (cum laude), and two MSc degrees in Interaction Technology (cum laude) and Electrical Engineering (biomedical specialisation). His master's assignment received the Graduation Award for the best thesis of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (2023/2024).
In his current work, he develops (statistical) methods to transfer findings from past patient preference studies to applications beyond their original scope. He examines how existing evidence can inform patient-relevant endpoint selection for clinical trial design, particularly when time or budget constraints prohibit de novo collection of preference data. His goal is to incorporate the patient perspective into medical product development, while contributing to sustainability of past research efforts.
He is a board member of the Dutch-Flemish Health Economics Association (VGE), and a member of the special interest group for health preference research of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR).
