Ing. Paul Knops

Paul Knops (1975) studied Applied Physics at the Rotterdam University. After an internship in the Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center (Dose Mapping of Electromagnetic Field Radiation during Hyperthermic Treatment of Superficial Tumors), he obtained a BSc degree based on a thesis “Development of High Pressure Shock Wave Gauge for Measurements in the Vincinity of the Explosion Point” at TNO - Prins Maurits Laboratory. .

He started working at the Erasmus MC - Clinical Electrophysiology department and specialized (IBHRE, EHRA) in cardiac arrhythmias (EP) and implantable devices (CIED).

He joined the Translational Electrophysiology research group, which focuses on the mechanisms underlying rhythm disorders, especially atrial fibrillation. Today, he is involved in the clinical and experimental intra-operative high-resolution cardiac mapping program and the development of dedicated mapping electrode arrays and signal recording systems.
