Personal profile
Research profile
I am a full-time postdoctoral research assistant at AAU with duties spanning cross-departmental teaching and research. The latter focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of novel technology that converts human movement into sound-based or multimodal feedback in real-time for motor rehabilitation applications. I also carry out various course teaching, coordination, and supervision duties at the bachelor and master level (see teaching portfolio for details). My goal is to contribute to the development of ecologically valid and robust clinical technology while delivering effective and well-rounded PBL-based teaching in a range of areas.
