Ted Manders, EngD DEES: The combination of industry experience and academic training has been incredibly rewarding

Enrichment

"After completing my Master’s in Data Science and Society at Tilburg University and running my own web development company for nearly a decade, I joined TU/e's EngD program. Initially seeking a PhD, I found an ideal EngD opportunity, leading to a collaborative project with TU/e and NXP."

Practical experience and networking

"Working on AI solutions for radar signal processing in autonomous vehicles at NXP has provided me with invaluable practical experience and expanded my professional network. The EngD program’s structure, which includes hands-on projects at NXP and relevant courses at TU/e, has deepened my expertise in signal processing and machine learning. The combination of industry experience and academic training has been incredibly rewarding."

Engagement

"For future EngD candidates, I recommend leveraging the opportunity to engage with diverse colleagues and experimenting with new approaches. Post-EngD, I plan to pursue a role that maintains strong ties to academia."
