Clémence Vandamme
PhD Student (2021-)
I am a PhD student at the Université catholique de Louvain. I began my PhD in September 2021, after completing a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. I study gait control through the analysis of stride-to-stride variability. In particular, my research aims to better understand the origins of the statistical persistence, naturally exhibited in series of stride durations, using optimal control models. My work also investigate the use of this marker to characterize gait control in patients with Parkinson's disease, whether during natural walking, under rhythmic auditory synchronization, or while performing dual tasks.
