Postdoctoral researcher in the Orthopaedics Research Group at the University of Twente. My research interests focus on orthopaedic disorders of the lower extremity, joint biomechanics, and medical image-based musculoskeletal modeling techniques to build and optimize evaluation tools for orthopaedic patients. Since 2022, I am a member of the European Society of Biomechanics, Orthopaedic Research Society, and International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty. In 2023, I was honored to receive the Early Career Investigator Award, bestowed by the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty.

Besides, I contribute to the biomedical community development by being the founder and leader of Biomedical Engineering Group Twente - a scientific group of more than 130 members, shaping future research directions in the field of orthopedic biomechanics, surgical robotics, and rehabilitation technology.
