Vujaklija Ivan

Ivan Vujaklija (Member, IEEE) received the degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of Belgrade, the M.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Lübeck, and the Ph.D. degree in human medical sciences from the University of Göttingen, in 2016. He was working as a Research Assistant with the University Medical Center Göttingen, Institute of Neurorehabilitation Systems, Georg-August University. From 2012 to 2014, he worked with Ottobock Healthcare GmbH, Duderstadt, one of the world-leading prosthetic manufacturers. He was a Research Fellow with Arizona State University and Medical University of Vienna, in 2014 and 2015, respectively. From 2017 to 2018, he was a Research Associate with the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Aalto University, where he is the Head of the Bionic and Rehabilitation Engineering Research Group. He was a part of a team of researchers that pioneered techniques for non-invasive spinal interfacing for rehabilitation applications. The same team has successfully introduced a novel, technology driven surgical paradigm for limb reconstruction which is now becoming a clinical state of the art. His research interests include bio-signal processing, advanced control algorithms, prosthetics, robotics, translational neurorehabilitation, and neural control of movement.
