During my stay in the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary with Benno Nigg in 2015/2016 I discovered my passion for motion analysis. The focus of my current work at the IFR Ulm is to manage research projects in the field of clinical research with robotic gait therapy. With industry partners, we have successfully developed a real-time endeffector for gait therapy in stroke patients.

In my Ph.D. thesis, I am investigating the effect of the clinical gait analysis on chronic backpain.

In my current work at IFR Ulm, I am also a project manager in the field of public health and health services research. In this area I am responsible for the evaluation of different projects in the field of rehabilitation and prevention together with the German Pension Insurance Baden-Württemberg.
