Ray-tracing, QuaDRiGa & FDTD
Realistic simulations, from the city-scale to the human ear, mapping the exposure along a walk.
About me
Hey! I'm Robin. I'm an engineer specialized in physics, and in October 2026 I defended my Ph.D. at imec and Ghent University. This page gives a more elaborate overview of what I do.
My interest lies in (computational) modelling of high tech with applied physics. I also love using agentic AI, have an interest in business & finance and enjoy playing music in my free time.
Currently open for opportunities starting Nov. 2026!
Some highlights of my work
Digital-twin calibration
Measurements in real environments of electromagnetic fields, using a robotic arm.
Scientific software
Software detailsGOLIAT
GOLIAT is a Python framework that automates electromagnetic field (EMF) dosimetry simulations from start to finish. Calculate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in digital human phantoms with minimal manual intervention, whether you're simulating a phone call (near-field) or environmental exposure (far-field).
AEGIS
Full-stack platform that computes real-time EM exposure on humans in realistic 3D environments.

Music & other things
Music is a very big part of my life. It gives me tremendous amounts of energy and joy.
