Jeroen Vollenbroek

Jeroen Vollenbroek received his BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Twente. During his master, which he finished in 2016, he specialized in microtechnology and Lab on a Chip systems. He received a joint doctorate from the University of Twente (BIOS Lab on a Chip group) and Utrecht University (Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis) for his PhD thesis entitled “Microreactors for single catalyst particle diagnostics” in 2020. After that, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU, department of Nephrology and Hypertension), where he developed electrocatalytic systems for the oxidation of urea, with the aim of improving dialysate regeneration for use in a wearable artificial kidney. Currently, he is employed as a senior post-doctoral researcher at the University of Twente (BIOS Lab on a Chip group) and the University Medical Center Utrecht (department of Nephrology and Hypertension). Part of his UMCU appointment is detached at research institute Imec NL. He tries to bring together expertise of the technical research institutes for projects focused on the development of microdevices of artificial and implantable kidney systems and environmental applications.
