Richard J.A. van Wezel

Richard J.A. van Wezel is a Full Professor in the Department of Biomedical Signals and Systems, focusing on neurophysiological and biomedical engineering research with strong emphasis on Parkinson's Disease and gait disorders. His work integrates signal processing, neuroimaging, and clinical applications.

• Key Research Areas: Freezing of Gait mechanisms, Neurophysiological monitoring, Biomedical sensor systems

Recent studies investigate baroreflex sensitivity in aging populations, wearable sensor-based gait analysis, and cortical activity during motor tasks. He has contributed datasets on neural regeneration scaffolds and fNIRS analysis methods.

• Collaborations: Involves institutions in neural interface development and movement disorder research

His research has led to 130+ publications (2006-2025), including work on cerebral oxygenation dynamics and motor control mechanisms. He actively participates in academic examinations and conferences.
