Curriculum Vitae
Monique Leensen was born on July 27th 1981 in Nijmegen. After finishing secondary school at Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen in 1999, she studied Biomedical Health Science at the Radboud University Nijmegen.
First, she finished a master in Human movement science, with a minor in Epidemiology; statistics and research methodology. In her first internship at Department of Physiology of the UMC St. Radboud she investigated peripheral muscle characteristics and blood flow in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. She finished her first MSc thesis at Sint Maartenskliniek research, during which she studied force regulation in one- and two-handed tasks in the elderly. Afterwards, she conducted a second master in Occupational and environmental health, and wrote her final thesis at Seneca, the research centre of Hogeschool Arnhem en Nijmegen. She described and evaluated factors affecting occupational rehabilitation of disabled persons.
Since 2007 she has worked as a scientific researcher at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Audiology at the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) Amsterdam. She conducted several research projects concerning the prevention and early detection of occupational noise-induced hearing loss. Most of these projects resulted in international publications which form the basis for this dissertation.
