Yonatan Hutabarat, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Bonn, Germany
I studied engineering physics which combines the disciplines of physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and fundamental engineering at Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. Fascinated by how science and engineering improved the quality of life of many people regardless of any medical conditions that they have, I took a special interest in the field of biomedical engineering during my Master's at Thammasat University, Thailand, and later was refined to the area of biomechanics and movement analysis through my PhD at Tohoku University, Japan. I am currently working as a postdoc at the University of Bonn, Germany.
Research Interests
Having focused on a subtopic in biomedical engineering that is related to biomechanics, gait analysis, wearable sensors, and machine learning algorithms during my MS and PhD, currently in my postdoc, I ventured out on a quest to understand the neuromechanics of unstructured movement under predatory threat in the context of Virtual Reality experiments.
