Robert Splinter, PhD, obtained his master of science degree in applied physics from the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and his PhD from the VU University of Amsterdam. Dr. Splinter built his career as a scientist and technology manager in biomedical engineering. His work is dedicated to resolving issues in device development, with a particular focus on medicine and biology through development of novel diagnostic techniques and treatment methods using all multidisciplinary aspects of engineering and applied physics. He cofounded several companies in biomedical engineering and worked for several established metrology and medical device companies. In addition, Dr. Splinter worked in clinical settings, prototyping, and validating devices using the full practical and theoretical knowledge of physics, engineering, electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology. He is an associate professor (Adj.) in the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
