Biography
Vincent van Hees is a PhD student with the physical activity epidemiology group. He is interested in the use and development of technology to measure physical activity, energy expenditure and biomechanics.
Vincent studied Human Kinetic Technology at the The Hague University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. He then studied for a Masters in Human Movement Sciences at the VU University in Amsterdam. Vincent also worked in the research and development team of McRoberts BV which designs and produces simple body fixed sensors for measuring movement. Vincent joined the MRC Epidemiology Unit in October 2008.
