It’s Cool-uh-wine. Assistant prof @ FAU - EPFL, Cleveland State and TU Delft Alum - Biomechanics - Gait - Sports - Dutch National Lacrosse team 2011-2013 - she/her
I’ll be presenting at #ISB2025 tomorrow at 09.10 in Room A1: Measuring Loads & Muscle Activity with AI. Join in if you’d like to hear about predictions of ankle moments from HD-EMG measurements and why we should check if NNs do more than predict the mean of the output data.

Does marker-based optical motion capture stress participants, and do they walk differently then?

This will be answered on

Tenured! I am incredibly grateful for the support at FAU, especially from @hornegger.bsky.social, Björn Eskofier, Philipp Beckerle, and Martin Vossiek. Of course, this step would have been impossible without the amazing researchers in my group, both past and present.

Join us in Cleveland as we fight back against the proposed cuts to NASA!

The proposed FY26 budget cuts 40% of civil servant jobs at NASA Glenn, crippling their testing facilities that keep us safe. Let’s make sure it doesn’t go through!

In het Biomechanica Lab van de faculteit ME roeiden 14 sterke en ervaren studenten om beurten op de roeimachine. Postdoc Tom van Wouwe en masterstudent Simon Loose maten de krachten en registreerden de bewegingen om te komen tot de meest gedetailleerde uitsplitsing van de roeislag tot nu toe.

Roeien en universiteiten gaan al 150 jaar samen. Toch is er nu pas voldoende kennis om in detail na te gaan welke spieren bijdragen aan de roeihaal. “Hiermee kunnen we het roeien analyseren en optimal...

Through generous funding from the German Research Foundation, we can support ~6 researchers from underrepresented groups and developing countries who attend the ISB congress in Stockholm and the tutorial “’In the wild’ movement analysis using dynamic simulations”.

Our paper on sparse sensorsets was published: www.frontiersin.org/journals/bio...! Happy to get it out after many private and professional challenges.

We show that as long as there are IMUs on the feet and the thighs/pelvis, simulations are similarly accurate as with a full lower leg IMU setup.

Our paper was published! When combining biomechanics datasets for ML training, bias might be introduced. We show that ML models can identify dataset source really well. Thus, training on multiple datasets can lead to identifying the source instead of data characteristics: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Please consider this petition calling to remove carnivorous fish farms as economically sustainable. Scientific evidence shows that they harm the environment and local economies around the world suffer, all just to gain profit for a small group of investors. And don’t eat their fish! fishfarmsout.org
Fish Farms Out
Scientific evidence keeps coming to light on the environmentally damaging aspects of industrial fish farming. For World Ocean Day 2024 take action now to bring it to an end. Fish Farms Out!

New preprint! We trained a neural network on dynamic muscle force recordings and showed that it can better estimate muscle forces than a Hill model. This is a first step towards more accurate muscle force estimations in human simulations as well, but a long ways to go. #biomechsky

The shoe choice was not good for the goal of getting back home, it was good for the goal of having new ideas about gait adaptations in new and unexpected environments. Now on to removing any thorns from my feet.

Hello World! I am a junior professor in computational biomechanics. We research human gait, mainly using simulations, and some machine learning. We try to predict gait in new situations, and reconstruct gait from incomplete measurements. Oh and news: I’ll switch into a tenured position in 2 years.
