Prof. Dr. Thomas Niederhauser

Thomas Niederhauser is research fellow at the Institute for Human Centered Engineering at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH). After an industrial apprenticeship in Electrical Engineering, he received his diploma in Electrical and Communication Technology from the BFH in 2007 and his MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bern in 2009. From 2007 to 2009, he did industrial research at the Institute for Mechatronic Systems at the BFH. He then joined the ARTORG Center, Cardiovascular Engineering, where he performed research on low-power hardware and signal processing algorithms for long-term heart rhythm monitoring. In 2014, he earned his PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bern. After a short research visit at the Bern University Hospital, he was appointed as junior professor (tenure track) for Biomedical Engineering at the Institute for Human Centered Engineering at the BFH in 2015. He holds undergraduate lecturers in Feedback Control at the BFH and graduate lectures in Cardiovascular Technology at the University of Bern. He recently received a certificate as quality manager in medical technology.
His main research activities comprise novel technologies for long-term recording of physiologic functions. In particular, he focuses on the design of low-power hardware and signal processing algorithms for active medical devices intended for cardiac rhythm management and neurological monitoring of preterm infants.
