Loes van Dam

Loes van Dam is a Professor at Darmstadt University of Technology, where she leads the Sensorimotor Control and Learning Group at the Center for Cognitive Science. Her research focuses on understanding how sensory systems integrate information for perception and action planning in both virtual and real-world environments, with applications to multisensory processing and human-computer interaction.

Key research themes include:

• Multisensory perception and integration
• Goal-oriented behavior in natural and virtual environments
• Avatar/tool ownership and agency in VR
• Sensory processing for movement planning
• Cognitive processing in object interaction

She teaches courses in cognitive science, including topics in multisensory perception and Python programming. For collaboration or inquiries, she can be reached at loes.van_dam@tu-darmstadt.de.
