dr. G.V. Durandau (Guillaume)

Guillaume Durandau is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Biomechanical Engineering, University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands. He obtained his engineering diploma at ISEN, Toulon, France and his master degrees at the University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Canada. During his master, he spend four months at the CINESTAV, Mexico. He also obtained during his master, the Mitacs Globalink Research Award. At the beginning of 2015, he started as a research assistant at the Institute of Neurorehabilitation Systems, UMG, Gottingen, Germany. In 2017, he started is PhD at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands. During his PhD, He won the Best Demo Award in 2018 at the 7th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics, Biomechatronic and Best paper Published by IEEE-EMBS in 2017-18, 3^rd place at the 7^th Dutch Bio-medical Engineering Conference and the best PhD thesis Award 2021 from the European Society of Biomechanics.
