Prof. Dr. Wout Joseph

Prof. Dr. Wout Joseph received a M. Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Ghent University (Belgium), in July 2000. From September 2000 to March 2005 he was a research assistant at the Department of Information Technology (INTEC) at the same university. During this period, his scientific work was focused on electromagnetic exposure assessment. His research work dealt with measuring and modeling electromagnetic fields around base stations for mobile communications related to the health effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation. From October 2007 to October 2013 he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow of the FWO-V (Research Foundation – Flanders). Since October 2009 he has been a professor in the domain of Experimental Characterization of wireless communication systems. He has been IMEC PI since 2017. He was elected council board lid of EBEA (European Bioelectromagnetics Association) in 2015-2018, and a re-elected board member at large in 2019. In 2022 he was elected board member of the new Bioelectromagnetics Society, and since 2024 he has been re-elected as board member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society. His professional interests are electromagnetic field exposure assessment, in-body electromagnetic field modeling, electromagnetic medical applications, propagation for wireless communication systems, IoT, antennas, and calibration. Furthermore, he specializes in wireless performance analysis and Quality of Experience.
