Albertus C. den Brinker received the MSc degree in electrical engineering in 1983 from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). In 1989, he received the PhD degree for his work on dynamic models of the human visual system. From 1987 to 1999, he worked in the Signal Processing Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. His educational activities included electrical network theory and digital filter theory. His research activities concerned diverse topics from fields like approximation, identification, digital signal processing, and applications of orthogonal series expansions to (local) signal analysis and adaptive filtering. In 1999, he joined the Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven. Activities included audio and speech coding, standardization, and classification and interpretation of audio signals. Later, healthcare applications were the main topics, in particular contactless monitoring of patients. He retired from Philips at the end of 2023. He publishes regularly in international scientific journals and proceedings of scientific conferences and is (co)author of various patents.
