Summary
Wouter Jansen is a PhD candidate and researcher at the University of Antwerp with 11 years of experience in electronics and ICT engineering, specializing in in-air acoustic sensing for cyber-physical systems. He develops signal-processing, simulation, and learning methods to push the theory of semantics in long-wavelength sensing toward a real-time cognitive sonar capable of applications in biology, industry, transport, and agriculture. His work is translational by design—focused on reusable results and close collaboration with industry partners, including Flanders Make. Based in Antwerp, he blends academic rigor with practical engineering, frequently bridging simulation and experimental validation to accelerate deployment. An understated strength is his focus on semantics in sensing, aiming to move beyond detection toward contextual understanding in real-world systems.
