Person-years of research

33 years

Brief summary of research over the last five years

The common theme of my research activities over the last years has been the development of design methodologies and proof of concepts of low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for wearable, injectable and implantable biomedical devices and RF and UWB communications. Under this theme various specific projects have been or are still being carried out under my direct supervision and leadership. For my contributions to integrated circuits for medical devices and wireless communications, I have been awarded the IEEE Fellow grade, effective January 1, 2011.

From a thematic perspective, my group aims to provide the technology for the successful monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of cortical, neural, cardiac and muscular disorders by means of electroceuticals, also known as bioelectronic medicine. To this end, we work on bio-inspired electronics, biosignal conditioning / detection, neuroprosthetics, transcutaneous wireless power transfer and communication, power management and energy harvesting.

Apart from these projects, I have done a lot of work on broadband, low-voltage and ultra low-power circuit techniques in general.

Met een klemmetje en een koptelefoon van het gekmakende oorsuizen af. Neurowetenschap — Tinnitus kan gekmakend zijn. Is het te verhelpen? Twee wetenschappers proberen het door met een klemmetje en een koptelefoon een zenuw te stimuleren. Artikel in het NRC Handelsblad, d. 17 februari 2024, door Laura Wismans, met bijdragen van hoogleraar neurochirurgie Dirk de Ridder en Wouter Serdijn, hoogleraar bio-elektronica.
Technologie waar je stil van wordt: een apparaat tegen tinnitus. Wouter Serdijn is gefascineerd door hoe elektrisch ons lichaam is en hoe je met elektriciteit de interactie met ons lichaam kunt aangaan om zo mensen beter te maken. Het hart, het gehoor, spiercellen, organen, noem het maar op en hij heeft er bio-elektronische medicijnen voor helpen ontwikkelen. Al tien jaar richt hij zijn aandacht specifiek op het zenuwstelsel waar zich, helaas, veel aandoeningen manifesteren die ook nog eens buiten het bereik van gewone medicijnen blijken te liggen. Bij tinnitus hoopt en verwacht hij met neurostimulatie de hersenen een zetje de goede kant op te kunnen geven. Een aflevering van het Tinnitus Health College, verzorgd door de TU Delft op 6 februari 2024, tijdens de Week van het Oorsuizen en TU Delft's Maand van de Gezondheid.
Mogelijke oplossing voor tinnitus. Het is is een groot probleem waar veel mensen in ons land mee moeten leven: tinnitus, oftewel oorsuizen. Maar er gloort een beetje hoop. Een Nederlandse vinding kan de irritante geluiden mogelijk weghalen. Rapportage over het Delft Tinnitus Apparaat met Dirk de Ridder en Wouter Serdijn in RTL Nieuws, d. 5 februari 2024.

Leven met een piep. Suizende oren door tinnitus. Het is de week van het oorsuizen. Hoe is het om met oorsuizen, ook bekend als tinnitus, door het leven te gaan? En hoe proberen onderzoekers de klachten van mensen met ernstige tinnitus te verminderen? Artikel in NEMO Kennislink, d. 5 februari 2024, met een bijdrage van Wouter Serdijn, die bij TU Delft werkt aan een apparaat om klachten van tinnitus in de toekomst te verminderen.

Hoogleraar bio-elektronica Wouter Serdijn vertelt over zijn onderzoek naar een nieuwe behandelmethode die misschien wel dé oplossing gaat zijn: ‘fysiotherapie voor het brein’, noemt hij het zelf. Live in de uitzending van Talent 105 van Radio Haarlem 105, van 23:00 uur tot middernacht op zondag 4 februari 2024, aan de vooravond van De Week van het Oorsuizen.

Elektrotechnisch ingenieur en neurochirurg denken oplossing voor tinnitus gevonden te hebben. Je hebt ’t zo te pakken: tinnitus, ofwel een snerpende piep in je oren. Meestal verdwijnt-ie, maar wat als het gepiep blijft? Professor Wouter Serdijn en de Vlaamse neurochirurg professor Dirk de Ridder speuren koortsachtig naar dé oplossing. „Hoe krijgen we lawaaierige hersencellen weer stil?” Artikel in het Algemeen Dagblad, d. 10 januari 2024, ook verschenen in De Stentor, Het Laatste Nieuws, Brabants Dagblad, Eindhovens Dagblad, Tubantia, en De Gelderlander.
Een constante piep of ruis in je oren – om gek van te worden. Toch is er geen genezing voor mensen met tinnitus. Nog niet, want elektrotechnisch ingenieur Wouter Serdijn (TU Delft) laat het er niet bij zitten. Hij werkt aan een apparaatje dat tinnitus moet verhelpen. Hoe? Podcast van de Universiteit van Nederland, episode 556, d. 11 oktober 2023.
Stekker in je hoofd. Cyborgs, vliegtuigen of robotarmen besturen met slechts je gedachten. Het klinkt als sciencefiction. Maar met een rechtstreekse verbinding tussen je hersenen en een computer is het mogelijk. Wat kunnen we al? En wat kunnen we (nog) niet?. Artikel in Quest No. 8, augustus 2023. Met bijdragen van Nick Ramsey, Gregoire Countine en Wouter Serdijn, hoogleraar bio-elektronica aan de Technische Universiteit Delft.
Eén proefpersoon, twee verschillende uitslagen: wat gaat er mis bij Herstart je Gezondheid?

Doorbraak in de bio-elektronica. Zweedse wetenschappers in de bio-elektronica hebben een doorbraak bereikt. Ze hebben een gel ontwikkeld die in het lichaam transformeert tot een elektrode. Interview van Astrid Kersseboom met Wouter Serdijn, hoogleraar bio-elektronica aan de TU Delft, op het NOS Radio 1 Journaal, d. 24 februari 2023.
Elektrode nestelt zich zelfstandig in brein. De grens tussen levende wezens en machines is weer iets vager geworden. Zweedse wetenschappers zijn erin geslaagd stroomgeleidende elektrodes te laten samenklonteren in de hersenen, harten en de staartvinnen van hun proefvisjes. Ze hopen daarmee een manier te hebben ontdekt om plekken in het lichaam te behandelen die andere elektroden niet kunnen bereiken. Een boeiende manier om kwetsbare plaatsen in het lichaam te bereiken waar men met gewone elektroden niet komt, denkt ook hoogleraar bio-elektronica Wouter Serdijn (TU Delft). Maar hij ziet ook beperkingen. Artikel in De Morgen, d. 24 februari 2023, door Maarten Keulemans.
Nieuwe stap in bio-elektronica: ingespoten gel transformeert tot elektrode in brein. Zweedse wetenschappers zijn erin geslaagd stroomgeleidende elektroden te laten samenklonteren in de hersenen, harten en staartvinnen van vissen. Ze hopen daarmee een manier te hebben ontdekt om plekken in het lichaam te behandelen die andere elektroden niet kunnen bereiken. Een boeiende manier om kwetsbare plaatsen in het lichaam te bereiken waar men met gewone elektroden niet komt, denkt ook hoogleraar bio-elektronica Wouter Serdijn (TU Delft). Maar hij ziet ook beperkingen. Artikel in De Volkskrant, d. 23 februari 2023, door Maarten Keulemans.
Elektroden gegroeid in levende dieren. Wetenschappers hebben een geleidende gel laten ontstaan in onder meer het hart en de hersenen van zebravissen. Er zijn nog wel veel wetenschappelijke vragen, maar als daar goede antwoorden op komen, dan liggen er mooie toepassingen voor medische implantaten het verschiet, zo denkt bio-elektronica-onderzoeker Wouter Serdijn van de TU Delft. “Met deze nieuwe technologie zou het mogelijk zijn om elektroden op moeilijk (chirurgisch) bereikbare te laten groeien en deze te verbinden met makkelijker bereikbare plekken. Op deze laatste plekken kan dan middels een eenvoudige operatie de rest van de benodigde elektronica geplaatst worden.” Artikel in Kijk, d. 24 februari 2023, door Marysa van den Berg.
Netwerkmarketing, listig maar legaal: ‘We worden belazerd met al die beloftes’. Healy belooft iedereen een 'gezond, voldaan en bewust leven' met frequentietherapie. Maar in werkelijkheid gaat achter het apparaatje een schimmige verkoopconstructie schuil waarbij de bedrijfstop mogelijk miljoenen verdient ten koste van duizenden kwetsbare Nederlanders. “De Healy weet niks en meet niks. Het is totale onzin,” concludeert Wouter Serdijn, professor in de bio-elektronica. KRO-NCRV's Pointer, NPO2, d. 9 februari 2023.

'Voor een ingenieur is het prima te begrijpen wat er in de hersenen gebeurt'. Omdat het lichaam gedeeltelijk elektrisch werkt, kunnen veel aandoeningen elektronisch worden behandeld. Dat is de gedachte achter de opkomende beweging van de ‘elektroceutica’, de elektronische tegenhanger van de farmaceutica. TU Delft-hoogleraar Wouter Serdijn vertelt over de ontwikkelingen en uitdagingen van het veld. Farmaceutica is tot nu toe bijna het exclusieve domein geweest van de scheikunde, maar wellicht dat de elektronica de komende jaren net zo’n belangrijke rol gaat spelen. Artikel door Pieter Edelman in Bits&Chips, d. 14 oktober 2016.
