Dr. Jaap Den Toonder studied at Delft University of Technology, where he obtained his MSc in Applied Mathematics (cum laude) and received his PhD (cum laude) from the same university. In 1995, he joined Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven and began working on the mechanics of solid materials. In 2008, he became Chief Technologist, leading the R&D program on (micro-)fluidics and (starting in 2011) materials science and engineering. He is currently a full professor and chair of the Microsystems Research Section at Eindhoven University of Technology. His group focuses its research on the investigation and development of innovative technological concepts, fabrication methods, and interactive polymer materials for microsystems for a wide range of applications. His main personal research interests are microfluidics, nature-inspired micro-actuators, smart medical microdevices, and organs-on-chips to understand cancer. He teaches courses on microfabrication methods, microfluidics, and heat and flow in microsystems, in which hands-on learning is a key element. He received an ERC Advanced Grant in 2019. He was elected a Fellow of the Netherlands Academy of Engineering in 2023. He was involved in research programs on molecular diagnostics, lab-on-chip, immersion lithography, and energy applications. He has (co-)authored over 140 scientific papers as well as over 45 patents, and he has given more than 60 invited lectures at international conferences.
