Dr. Arthur De Jong

Biography

Arthur de Jong is an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology specializing in Molecular Biosensing and Medical Diagnostics. He develops innovative approaches for single-molecule sensing to study individual biomolecules in complex environments. His research aims to create next-generation biosensing principles that facilitate continuous patient monitoring, combining small colloidal particles with molecular constructs to engineer single-molecule sensors. Current research areas include single molecule techniques, colloid interface functionalization interactions, non-fouling surface design, and microfluidics sensor integration technology. These single-molecule biosensors have significant societal benefits, particularly in the areas of healthcare, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Arthur holds an MSc in Chemical Engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he completed his PhD in 1994 at the Schuit Institute of Catalysis. Following a postdoctoral tenure in catalysis and surface science, he joined the Applications Ion Beams Accelerators group at TU/e in 1997 and became an assistant professor in 2000. He later became a core member of the Institute Complex Molecular Systems at TU/e, engaging in multidisciplinary research across chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, and mathematics.
