## "I DREAM OF CHEAPER HEALTHCARE THANKS TO NEW TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS"

For a long time, I wasn’t that keen on learning. I always wanted to be a builder: being busy with your hands, building houses, that’s cool, isn’t it? Now I am studying Electrical Engineering and I dream of becoming a professor. How is that possible? I am getting closer and closer to my passion. This study is just really enjoyable: it is not just about theory and lectures, but you also learn how to apply your knowledge. Furthermore, it is really difficult, which is good because I always need a challenge. The best thing so far? During the first year, we wrote software for a heart rate monitor, and it was an eye opener that I can make such a thing, applying Electrical Engineering! This was the beginning of my interest in one of the spearheads within the TU/e, Health. The subject Bioelectricity & Electromagnetic effects which fits well with this theme is really good because you learn how you can use electromagnetism to measure different things on the body.
