Management

  • Bram De Muer, Chief Executive Officer
    Bram received the M.S. degree in micro-electronics and the Ph.D. from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium in 1996 and 2002 respectively. Bram has been a research and postdoctoral assistant with ESAT-MICAS laboratories from 1996 to 2004 under supervision of Prof. M. Steyaert. The subject of his Ph.D. was the monolithic integration of frequency synthesizers for high-quality communication systems such as GSM and DCS-1800 in standard CMOS technology. Bram De Muer received the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC) 2001 Best Paper Award. He is a co-founder of ICsense and wireless link specialist.
  • Wim Claes, Chief Business Development Officer
    Wim received the M.S. degree in microelectronics and the Ph.D. from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium in 1996 and 2004 respectively. He has been a Research Assistant with the ESAT-MICAS Laboratories since 1996 under supervision of Prof. W. Sansen and Prof. R. Puers. His Ph.D. work covered the design of an autonomous low-power CMOS datalogger IC for the registration of in vivo load on oral implants. Wim is a co-founder of ICsense. His technological know-how is mainly focused on low-power sensor interfaces, switched-capacitor circuits and intelligent data acquisition systems for biomedical applications.
  • Yves Geerts, Chief Operating Officer
    Yves obtained the M.S. degree in microelectronics and the Ph.D. from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, in 1996 and 2001 respectively. From 1996 to 2001, he has been a Research Assistant at the ESAT-MICAS Laboratory at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His Ph.D. and technological interests are in the area of high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog data converters, more specifically multi-bit sigma-delta conversion. From 2001 to 2004 he worked at Alcatel MicroElectronics, Belgium which was acquired by STMicroelectronics in 2002. During this period he designed next generation analog front-ends for ADSL and VDSL applications. He is co-founder of ICsense and mixed-signal circuit design specialist.
  • Tim Piessens, Chief Technical Officer
    Tim received the M.S. degree in microelectronics and the Ph.D. from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium in 1998 and 2003 respectively. He has been a Research Assistant with the ESAT-MICAS Laboratories since 1998. For his Ph.D. he developed a new type of power amplifier/line driver, called SOPA (Self-Oscillating Power Amplifier), for xDSL applications. Tim is co-founder of ICsense, where he is a specialist in non-linear system design, digital-to-analog converters, power amplification and high-voltage design.
