Personal information
Biography
In 2005, I obtained a PhD in Sciences at the University of Antwerp studying the biomechanical determinants of the development of bipedal gait in humans. Currently
I am assigned as 100% research professor with the research group Movement Antwerp (MOVANT). I am vice-chair of the REVAKI educational board since October 2021 and coordinator of the M²OCEAN movement analysis lab. My research projects focus on the neuromechanical control of walking and on the importance of balance and postural control during walking. I am interested in changes in gait and balance control resulting from maturation, ageing and pathology.
I have substantial experience in motion capture and biomechanical data analysis techniques, and am supervisor of 7 running PhDs and 8 finished PhDs (H-index 21, 95 publications, 1430 citations, author impact citation percentile 61%). She is an expert in neuromechanics and (postural) balance control in relation to maturation and ageing.
