About Me
Anoek received her MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology in 2012. Subsequently, she succesfully completed her PDEng Robotics
at the University of Twente, as part of the STW Symbionics project (2016-2018).
Currently she is working as a PhD candidate at University of Twente and Focal Meditech B.V. on the development of dynamic and adaptive head supports for electrical wheelchair users.
