About

Davy Pissoort is a leading researcher at the intersection of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), functional safety, and autonomous systems. His work addresses a critical challenge: ensuring electronic systems remain safe and reliable in increasingly complex and electromagnetically harsh environments. Pissoort pioneered the concept of "EMI Risk Management," arguing that electromagnetic interference (EMI) is no longer just an annoyance but a genuine safety threat for high-tech systems. His seminal 2015 paper on this topic (15 citations) laid the groundwork for integrating EMC into formal safety engineering processes. More recently, he has developed innovative decision-making algorithms, such as a modified Bellman equation approach (2023, 6 citations), to enable communication systems to intelligently handle EMI-induced errors. His research also extends to decentralized task allocation for industrial AGVs (2021, 40 citations), demonstrating a practical focus on autonomous systems. Pissoort’s forward-looking work on "dynamic safety cases" (2025) is operationalizing safety for autonomous systems in changing environments. With a career dedicated to making high-tech electronics both safe and resilient, Pissoort is a key voice in the movement to treat EMI as a core safety risk, not just a design nuisance.
