معرفی
Edwin van Asseldonk serves as an Associate Professor in the Biomechanical Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente. His research aims to enhance mobility for individuals with neurological disorders such as stroke or spinal cord injury through advanced rehabilitation robotics and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques.
Education:
- Master of Science in Human Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
- Doctor of Philosophy in Biomechanical Engineering, University of Twente
His primary research interests encompass rehabilitation robotics for lower extremities, human-machine interaction, dynamic balance control during locomotion, locomotor adaptation mechanisms, and neuroplasticity. Current projects focus on developing balance control strategies for wearable exoskeletons and optimizing human-robot interaction for therapeutic applications.
Dr. van Asseldonk leads multiple research initiatives including national projects funded by STW and ZonMW, and participates as co-PI in European Union collaborative projects. His scholarly contributions include over 100 publications covering balance control, motor adaptation, rehabilitation robotics, and non-invasive brain stimulation.
He is actively involved with the Biomechatronics and Rehabilitation Technology research group and the interdisciplinary TechMed Centre at the University of Twente.
