Prof. dr. ir. Ronald Thoelen obtained his master in applied physics at the TU Eindhoven in 2004. In 2008 he obtained his Ph.D. in physics at Hasselt University with the topic of impedance based biosensors. He is associate professor at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of Hasselt University. Ronald Thoelen is group leader of the research group 'biomedical device engineering'*. The research focuses on the development of “dedicated” sensor devices in environmental, food and health(care) domains. Here the group develops advanced diagnostic systems for screening the presence of various molecules in aqueous solutions. Thoelen is currently also head of education of the electronics & ICT master program of his faculty and board member of the joint KU Leuven - UHasselt faculty of Engineering Technology.
