Rick Helmer

I’m Rick Helmer, born in Belgium. I made it to the Netherlands for my study of Electrical Engineering (BSc and MSc) @TU Delft and now since sept. 2025 joining the ELCA for my master thesis.

What gives me energy … travelling, doing sports, meeting new people, spending time with friends and family, following the news and politics … and a strong espresso!

And I’m fascinated about innovation and technology. I’m very thankful to get the chance to work on this project “On-Chip Complex Impedance Sensing”, a joint project with NXP. My two mentors are Marco from TU Delft and Mark van der Heijden from NXP. It’s very inspiring to work together with real professionals and I appreciate their support enormously.
