TUMMERS Matthias

Short Bio

I was born in Belgium, in 1993. I received the University degree in biomedical engineering from the UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in 2016. From 2017 to 2019, I was a Research Assistant and Research Engineer with the Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium and the TIMC Laboratory, Grenoble, France, respectively.

I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Université Grenoble Alpes in 2023. My research, carried out within the Computer Aided Medical Interventions team at the TIMC Laboratory, was awarded with the Prix de Thèse 2023 by the GDR Robotique.

I was a postdoctoral fellow at KU Leuven in the Robot Assisted Surgery Group between 2023 and 2024.
