Biography

Marleen Tjepkema-Cloostermans is a researcher in Clinical Neurophysiology at the University of Twente. She completed her Bachelor degree in Technical Medicine and subsequently pursued a Master's in ‘Medical Signalling’. Her master thesis was conducted in the Clinical Neurology department at Hospital Medisch Spectrum Twente, focusing on the interplay between neurons and their oxygenation levels. In September 2009, she began her PhD studies, investigating neuron modeling and the oxygenation process to enhance the understanding of brain function under normal and pathological conditions. Her research interests encapsulate the development of innovative technologies for the prevention and rehabilitation of ischemic disorders in the human brain, aiming to create a three-dimensional functional model of the neurovascular unit, which constitutes neurons and glial cells. This model is not only intended to produce prototypes of EEG signals but also aims to enhance the understanding of brain rhythms, neuroplasticity, and recovery mechanisms post-stroke.
