Joost has focused his research on medical and human augmentation-applications of wearable robotics. After obtaining a personal VLAIO grant for his PhD in bionic lower-limb prostheses and investigating several rehabilitation exoskeletons, he shifted his focus to industrial applications aiming to revolutionize occupational exoskeletons, protecting workers performing hard physical labour. His aim is to bring these devices out of the lab and into the field through the university spin-off HUSKK (HUSKK (yourhuskk.com)). Joost is teaching Biomedical Robotics and Assistive Technologies in the Master of Biomedical Engineering at VUB and UGent.
