Biography

Nico J. M. Rijkhoff was born in Opmeer, The Netherlands, in 1964. He received the M. Sc. degree in electrical and biomedical engineering from the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, in 1990, and the Ph.D. degree in medical sciences from the Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 1996.
In 1996 he joined the Center for Sensory–Motor Interaction, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark, where he currently holds the position of Associate Professor. His research interests are related to neuroprostheses to treat bladder and bowel dysfunction and to treat chronic pain. His research activities include both theoretical and experimental, as well as clinical studies. He has authored/co-authored over 35 scientific articles in peer reviewed journals and more then 100 conference contributions.
Dr. Rijkhoff is a founding member of the International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS), and member of the International Continence Society (ICS) and the Danish Urological Society (DUS).
