R.C. van 't Veld (Ronald)

About Me

Ronald van ‘t Veld studied Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology and received his master’s degree (cum laude) in 2016 within the track of Control & Simulation. His thesis focused on improving the stability and robustness of aircraft flight control.

Afterwards, he started as a PhD student at the University of Twente working on the Reflexioning project, part of the NeuroCIMT program. The goal of this project is to train the modulation of muscle reflex activity in subjects with spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy. Ronald will focus on the development of real-time system identification techniques for feedback of reflex activity.

Fields of interest

  • System identification (real-time, time-varying)
  • Biofeedback
  • Neuroplasticity
