What do top-level sports and technology have to do with each other? Everything! Top-level sport is extremely demanding, and not just in physical terms. In order to keep on improving their performances, top-level athletes need to look beyond just their physical capacities; they need to think about clothing and equipment, materials and design. Can it be made faster, higher, with less drag? These are just the kind of questions TU Delft can provide answers to. In this session we will guide the audience through our way of working in innovative sports engineering projects and challenge the audience by a mini-sports engineering-pubquiz!
Dr. Daan Bregman obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences at the VU University in 2006. For his master thesis he studied the coordination of gait in children with Cerebral Palsy , using principal component analysis. In 2011 he obtained his PhD at the VU University Medical Center. For his PhD thesis Bregman systematically studied the influence of the mechanical properties of ankle foot orthosis (eg stiffness and alignment) on the gait of patients with central neurological disorders such as Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis. Succeeding his PhD, Bregman started working at Delft University of Technology as a coordinator of sports & innovation. In this role Bregman is responsible for the realization of new projects with stakeholders from both sports, research and business. Following his background, Bregman’s personal interest lies in the field of disability sports.

Born in South Africa and now living in the Netherlands. in my young days I saw a lot of pain and suffering in the world. Later as a business traveler it hit me again... and decided to DO IT RIGHT. Now developed a new way to help pain sufferers.. Specialy targeted at chronic pain where doctors usually tell you "to learn to live with"
At Optimens PijnZorg we help people from a bad to a happy life...
We are looking for partners worldwide, both to help us as a financial and business partner.
