Brief Biography :

Poramate Manoonpong was born in Nan, Thailand, in 1978. He received a B.Eng. degree in mechanical engineering from the King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand,
in 2000, an M.Sc. degree in mechatronics from Fachhochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten, Germany, in 2002, and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of Siegen, Germany, in 2006. As a Ph.D. student, he worked in the areas of robotics, mechatronic systems, biologically inspired walking machines, evolutionary robotics and artificial neural networks at Fraunhofer institute for Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS), Sankt Augustin, Germany.

He is currently a researcher at Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience (BCCN) and Bernstein Focus Neurotechnology (BFNT) Goettingen, Germany. His research interests include neural locomotion control of walking machines, biomechanics, dynamics of recurrent neural networks, learning/plasticity, embodied cognitive systems, prosthetic and orthopaedic devices.
