I am a physiotherapist from training with several years of clinical experience. I obtained my PhD in Medical Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, researching the effects of an orthotic device on clinical and biomechanical outcomes in people with knee osteoarthritis as part of the EU’s Horizon 2020 ITN. I then completed postdoctoral training at the University of Liverpool, developing “smart” footwear for fall prevention in older adults, and at Cardiff University, validating wearable technology for health monitoring. I have authored ten first-author publications, regularly review articles for international peer-reviewed journals in the fields of medicine and bioengineering, and serve on the editorial boards of Scientific Reports (Digital Medicine) and PLOS Digital Health.
I am interested in advancing our understanding of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system and developing technology-based healthcare interventions to address these issues. I employ lab-based experiments, use patients reported outcomes, and analyze large data sets to better understand musculoskeletal conditions and their biomechanical underpinnings, generating insights to inform theory, real-world decision-making, and technology development.
