Prof. Dr. Kevin De Pauw is a full-time (.5 FTE professor) human movement scientist working at the research group Human Physiology and Sports Physiotherapy (MFYS) of VUB. Kevin is vice-president of BruBotics, a consortium of 8 research groups of VUB working around the topic Human-Centered Robotics, and coordinates several (inter)national projects and one funded research program at MFYS (ICT-H2020 ‘Socio-Physical Interaction Skills for Cooperative Human-Robot Systems in Agile Production’, EUTOPIA PhD co-tutelle ‘Brain-Computer Interface applications for real-life applications’, Strategic Research Program ‘Exercise and the Brain in Health & Disease: The Added Value of Human-Centered Robotics’, FWO Weave ‘Role of the brain at origin of mental and physical fatigue’ and Horizon Europe ‘ERA Talents for boosting and balancing brain circulation’). My research team working for the strategic research program currently involves 7 PhD students working on industrial exoskeletons, exosuits, cobots, prosthetics, robotics control systems, mental and physical fatigue and other human movement scientific projects. The research program also includes ExoOO, which are R&D services provided to companies. Kevin has 66 peer-reviewed research papers in journals with an international referee system (Google Scholar: H-index 26, 3223 citations). Kevin is a member of different councils, scientific organizations and networks; Faculty council member, education council LOBW, research commission, workgroup research policy plan, department KIMA council, internal appellate body PhDs, Medical Device Regulation Board, Center for Neurosciences, AI research institute FARI and CLAIRE network, AI Experience Center, European College of Sports Science and advisory board member AugmentX and BruBotics Rehabilitation Research Center. Furthermore, Kevin is the ethics manager of ICT-H2020 SOPHIA, secretory of the EBRAINS network VUB (part of the EU flagship HBP) and advisory board member of Axiles Bionics.
