VCCA2020 -Organization - Computational Audiology

Organizing Committee		Motivation for VCCA2020
Dr Peter van Hengel, Medical Physicist – Audiologist in training at Radboudumc and Pento.		I am looking forward to meet the people in the field, build a community and get inspiration for new ideas.
Dr Yağmur Güçlütürk, assistant professor at Artificial Intelligence department Radboud University.		I would like AI to create more impact in neurotech. How can we fill in the gaps? Also, I would like to stimulate social interactions and motivate others in the COVID-19 period.
Dr Jan de Laat, Medical Physicist – Audiologist at Leiden University Medical Center.		In my work I prefer the combination of tele-audiology, artificial intelligence in audiology and music perception, e.g. the development and validation of screening and diagnostic tools, tests and APPs for these favorite topics.
Dr Emmanuel Mylanus, staf-member, at ENT department at the Radboudumc. Since 2015 he holds a chair as guest lecturer at the University of Ghent, Belgium.		Increasingly, AI is becoming an important tool in otologic research and clinical practice and I like to apply innovative methods in my clinical work and research projects on semi-implantable bone conduction devices, active middle ear implants, and cochlear implants.
Alex Tichter, Master student Artificial Intelligence, Radboud University.		I like working on AI and Music and to have impact on the health of patients. I want to understand patients’ problems so that I can improve methods in de field by understanding the problem better.
Jan-Willem Wasmann, Medical Physicist – Audiologist at Radboudumc.		Jan-Willem’s recent work includes AI-guided CI fitting techniques, simulated directional hearing based on neural networks, and remote care. He would like to stimulate the creation of a network of more (hybrid) AI & Audiology experts and hopes the conference could lead to novel projects.
