Personal

Biography: 

Femke graduated as a Master of Science in applied engineering: Electronics-ICT in June 2013. In her final year, she’s worked in a multidisciplinary team on a project called "Anthropometrics 2.0", for which she received the "Belgian Industrial Research & Development (BiR&D) Interdisciplinary Master of Science Thesis Programme 2012"-award.

In 2019, Femke obtained a PhD degree in the field of statistical shape modeling at the Vision Lab, Department of Physics, University of Antwerp, Belgium.
