Biography

Peter Mutsaers is an assistant professor in the research group Coherence Quantum Technology at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), specializing in applied physics. He has extensive knowledge in accelerator technology applications, with his research primarily focusing on the role of alterations in cellular element concentrations during the early development of atherosclerosis. He is currently working on ultrafast electron microscopy, which utilizes resonant microwave cavities, and developing compact mobile ultrabright X-ray sources with laser cooled focused ion beams as part of the Smart*light project. Peter obtained his MSc degree in Applied Physics in 1985, focusing on fast neutron radiation dosimetry. He later became a researcher with the Eindhoven cyclotron group, specializing in particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) and its microbeam applications for data processing. In 1995, he completed his PhD with a thesis titled 'Design and Realization of the Eindhoven Scanning Proton Microprobe', supervised by professors Martien de Voigt and Henk Hagedoorn. He continues to contribute to the field through his involvement with TU/e research groups.
