Roy van Hees is a PhD candidate at the TU/e research group Cardiovascular Biomechanics of the departement of Biomedical Engineering. Within the Photoacoustics & Ultrasound Laboratory Eindhoven (PULS/e), he works under supervision of Richard Lopata on the development and validation of in-vivo risk assessment of carotid plaques using photoacoustic imaging.

Roy van Hees studied Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology and received his Msc degree in 2018 on an open implementation and evaluation of Transverse Oscillations, where he did a literature study of verious vector velocity estimation techniques and researched the influence of beamforming algorithms on flow velocity estimation. In 2018 he started as a PhD Candidate at the Cardiovascular Biomechanics group under supervision of Richard Lopata, where he will work on photoacoustics with a focus on the development of novel signal processing techniques.
