Alvaro Marin is an Associate Professor at the Chair of Physics of Fluids. In addition, he serves as the coordinator of the Sport Physics Projects in Module 1 of Applied Physics. This module provides first-year students with the opportunity to undertake their first scientific project. By focusing on projects that integrate sports science, students have found immense motivation and have achieved remarkable results. It is this inspiring experience that has driven Alvaro to spearhead UT's SportsLab initiative.
Apart from his academic activity, Alvaro is 3rd Dan in WTF Taekwondo, 2nd Dan in Gumdo (korean sword), 1st Dan in HapKiDo, an aficionado runner and an avid crossfitter.
Jasper Reenalda is human movement scientist, working as an Associate Professor at the Biomedical Signals and System group. Jasper leads the IMMUnity Team in which the central themes are measuring, monitoring, and modeling movement mechanics (outside the laboratory) in sports and rehabilitation using Inertial (Magnetic) Measurement Units and other wearable technology. The focus is on better understanding (changes in) quality, quantity, and intensity of human movement to improve performance and prevent injuries. Jasper teaches the MSc course Technology for the Assessment of Performance in Sports in the BME curriculum and is involved in the Sensor Technology for Sports course in the BSc curriculum of Create.
Jasper is a 12-time Ironman triathlon finisher, of which 2-times the Ironman triathlon world championships in Kona, Hawaii.
Dees Postma is a Human Movement Scientist operating at the cross-roads of Sport Science and Human-Computer Interaction. Dees makes use of interactive technologies such as VR/AR, wearables, and digital-physical artefacts to 1) better understand sports and movement — focussing on perception & action, motor control, and motor learning and 2) to benefit sports in terms of performance, learning, or engagement.
Dees is an avid sports enthusiast himself and likes to play basketball, (trail) running, bouldering, surfing, and anything else that involves movement. Dees recently completed the marathon of Eindhoven and is currently training for a (half) triathlon.

Frank Wouda is a mechanical engineer, working as an Assistant Professor at the Biomedical Signals and System group. Frank’s research focuses on minimizing on-body sensing for human movement measurement. Frank mainly makes use of sensing devices such as IMUs and pressure insoles to develop state-of-the-art sensor fusion approaches to measure human dynamics. The focus is on providing optimal sensor fusion solutions to measure human dynamics in an ambulatory fashion.
Frank is a track & field athlete (mostly hurdling) who likes to also go off the beaten paths (trail running). He recently completed his first marathon on the most Northern official certified marathon course in the world.
