Hello! I'm a postdoctoral researcher exploring the fascinating world of human movement neuroscience at Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands. What really gets me excited is figuring out how our brains flexibly control our movements in all sorts of everyday situations, and how this flexibility differs from the rigidness of learning in so called artificial intelligent systems. I spend my days crafting computational models to understand this brain-body connection better. Then, I jump into hands-on human movement experiments using tools like robotic devices and virtual reality to see how these theories hold up in real life. I am a recipient of a number of highly competitive research awards, such as Radboud Excellence Initiative Fellowship in Netherlands, F.N.R.S fellowship in Belgium, to develop new AI based models to interpret how our brain control movements.
Additionally, I'm super stoked about exploring the potential of portable upper-limb exoskeletons to characterize behavior when naturally interacting with external forces. Imagine being able to study human movement in all kinds of natural environments — it's a field bursting with possibilities for groundbreaking research methods (for context on human movements in dynamic environments, see this article that I co-authored).
