Joost Lumens received the B.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering and the M.Sc. degree in medical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, and the Ph.D. degree in multi-scale computational modeling and simulation of cardiovascular mechanics and hemodynamics from the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM), Maastricht University Medical Center. He continued his academic career as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Liryc Electrophysiology and Heart Modeling Institute, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) de Bordeaux, France, where he combined computational, experimental, and clinical data to unravel the working mechanisms of cardiac pacing therapies in the dyssynchronous failing heart. Since 2012, he has been working again at CARIM, Maastricht University Medical Center, where he leads the CircAdapt Research and Education Team (www.circadapt.org). In 2021, he was appointed as a Professor of computational cardiology at the Maastricht University Medical Center. His research team typically combines advanced computational modeling/simulation techniques with experimental and/or clinical data to gain mechanistic insight in cardiac diseases and their treatments.
