About this position
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is advertising a full-time PhD vacancy in wearable sensor analytics for adaptive rehabilitation technology within the interdisciplinary DYNAMO research line: Data-driven Nutrition and Movement Optimization for Healthy Ageing.
The project sits in the Rehabilitation Research group RERE and the department of Electronics and Informatics ETRO, with collaboration involving UZ Brussel / VUB/UZ Brussel UMCOR and an international partner, Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The research focus is on using wearable sensors, IMU data, movement analysis, signal processing, time-series analysis, and machine learning to estimate how challenging an exercise is for an individual.
The goal is to support adaptive rehabilitation technology, including exergames that can adjust task difficulty to the user’s abilities and performance. The topic is especially relevant for candidates interested in healthy ageing, personalized digital interventions, and the intersection of engineering and rehabilitation science.
Eligible backgrounds mentioned include biomedical engineering, engineering sciences, computer science, or a related field. The post emphasizes interest in wearable sensing, signal processing, human movement analysis, adaptive systems, rehabilitation technology, and exergaming.
Application deadline: 15 August 2026.
