Safety Committee Chair
– EFSUMB
Massimo Mischi
- Title: dr.
- Full Name: Massimo Mischi
- Credentials: PhD in electrical engineering, full professor of biomedical signal analysis, (co)author of 250+ peer reviewed journal publications, one book, 15 book chapters, and 20 patents. Recipient of multiple individual grants, including ERC StG, Vidi, ERC PoC, and EIC Transition. Member of the Technical Program Committees and Track Chair for IEEE IUS and IEEE MeMeA, where he served as general chair in 2024.
- Specialty/Focus: Biomedical diagnostics via full biosignal modelling, from physiological sources and sensing physics to interpretation. Focus on quantitative ultrasound for tissue characterization combining data- and physics-driven methods.
- Education/Training: MSc degree in Electronic Engineering (1999) from La Sapienza University of Rome and the PhD degree in electrical engineering (2004) from the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he is currently Full Professor of Biomedical Signal Analysis and Head of the Signal Processing Systems Division in the Electrical Engineering Department.
- Board Certifications: University Teaching Qualification.
- Professional Philosophy on Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a uniquely powerful modality due to its real-time capability, safety, and sensitivity to tissue microstructure and function. By linking underlying physiology to measurable acoustic responses, it enables non-invasive, quantitative tissue characterization. Its portability and cost-effectiveness make it ideal for scalable diagnostics, while advances in physics- and data-driven modeling enhance interpretability and diagnostic accuracy.
- Personalisation: I enjoy skiing, where the combination of speed and beautiful natural surroundings helps me disconnect, recharge, and regain energy.
