Hands-on introduction to research

Have you ever wondered how ultrasound or photoacoustics allow us to look inside the body without surgery? How engineers can monitor disease progression using digital twins? Or how sound and light can be used to characterize tissue, guide therapy, or support clinicians with AI?

If these questions intrigue you, a Bachelor End Project (BEP) within the PULS/e (Photoacoustics & Ultrasound Laboratory Eindhoven) group may be a great fit.

Our BEP projects are closely connected to ongoing research. As a student, you become part of a multidisciplinary team and gain your first hands-on experience with advanced imaging systems, experimental setups, or computational models. You will learn how to design and perform experiments, analyze data, and contribute to the development of radiation-free and cost-effective imaging technologies.

Within PULS/e, you work in an open and collaborative environment with direct supervision from researchers and PhD candidates. This setting allows you to develop your scientific skills while exploring topics at the interface of engineering and medicine, and prepares you for a Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering or Medical Engineering.

BEP projects are offered in close collaboration with the Cardiovascular Biomechanics group.

Independent research and innovation

At the PULS/e research group, Master’s students take ownership of ambitious research projects that contribute directly to advances in ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, computational modelling, and clinical decision support.

Building on your prior training, you will work on complex and high-impact research questions in areas such as non-invasive imaging, artificial intelligence, and image-informed modelling. Projects can be experimental, computational, clinical, or a combination thereof, and are often embedded in larger research programs or collaborations.

As a Master’s student, you join the group as a junior researcher. You design and validate new methods, develop experimental setups or computational models, and contribute to ongoing PhD projects or clinical studies. This provides a realistic experience of how research translates from fundamental ideas to clinical applications.

You will work in a collaborative and research-driven environment with strong mentorship, while developing technical expertise, scientific independence, and problem-solving skills. This experience provides an excellent foundation for a PhD trajectory or a career in medical technology R&D or clinical innovation.

The PULS/e group also welcomes students from related disciplines and from other universities, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
