Roger Gassert promoted to Full Professor of Rehabilitation Engineering at ETH Zurich
On the recommendation of ETH President Joël Mesot, the ETH Board appointed 13 ETH professors during its meeting on 10 and 11 July 2019. Roger Gassert, currently Associate Professor at ETH Zurich, was promoted to Full Professor of Rehabilitation Engineering.
Roger Gassert conducts research at the interface between engineering, neuroscience and movement science. He and his team develop mechatronic systems to explore the neuromechanical generation of movement and haptic perception and to perform quantitative evaluation of the movement quality and rehabilitation progress of people with sensorimotor deficits. Roger Gassert uses this interdisciplinary approach to forge links between research-based neuroscience and movement science, and application-based engineering science, as well as with hospitals.
