Ronald Aarts was born in 1956, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He received a BSc degree in electrical engineering in 1977, and a PhD in physics from Delft University of Technology in 1995. He joined the Optics group at Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1977 and initially investigated servos and signal processing for use in both Video Long Play players and Compact Disc players. In 1984 he joined the Acoustics group at Philips Research Laboratories and worked on the development of CAD tools and signal processing for loudspeaker systems. In 1994 he became a member of the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) group at Philips Research Laboratories and has led research projects on the improvement of sound reproduction, by exploiting DSP and psycho-acoustical phenomena.
In 2003 he became a Research Fellow at the Philips Research Laboratories, and extended his interests in engineering to medicine and biology. He has published a large number of papers and reports and holds over 140 first patent application filings including over thirty granted US-patents in the afore mentioned fields. He has served on a number of organizing committees and as chairman for various international conventions. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow and past-governor of the AES (Audio Engineering Society), a member of the NAG (Dutch Acoustical Society), the ASA (Acoustical Society of America), the VvBBMT (Dutch Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering), and the NSWO (Dutch Society for Sleep and Wake Research).
Ronald is part-time full-professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
