Biography

Martijn van Beurden is a Full Professor in the Electromagnetics group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research focuses on computational electromagnetics and the analysis and design of detection methods for electromagnetic wave behavior, particularly through numerical methods. He specializes in so-called inverse problems that rely on fast modeling techniques to manipulate electromagnetic fields for specific functionalities. His work explores detection methods that enhance electromagnetic field observations, allowing for the reconstruction of spatial distributions of underlying materials. Van Beurden's interests include fast modeling techniques, integral equations, functional analysis in electromagnetic field problems, inverse scattering, and nonlinear optimization. Current projects in his research group involve forward and inverse scattering in periodic structures and layered media, modeling electromagnetic fields under stochastic conditions, and optimizing antenna designs. He is particularly interested in developing algorithms for electromagnetic detection methods that enhance visibility in challenging observation environments.
