Researcher

About Me

I obtained my master's degree in Biomedical Engineering (Prosthetics and implants design track) at the University of Groningen, where I focused on the study of electrical stimulation devices for restoring locomotion after spinal cord injury. 

Currently, I am a PhD candidate in the Neuromechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab, at the University of Twente. My research combines biophysical models of the spinal circuitry and finite element method models of the human body to predict in-vivo neuromechanics in response to electrical stimulation.
