Engineering to enhance human mobility, play, and exploration
EDUCATIONBS, Biomedical Engineering – University of California, Berkeley
Yusuke is interested in expanding his understanding of controls and human biomechanics to drive exoskeleton designs. He hopes to explore what mobility looks like for different people.
EDUCATIONKim is interested in designing translational control systems for assistive robots that support human mobility. Her past research investigated using wearable sensors to predict physiological metrics (like metabolic cost), and evaluated user preference as an objective for the control of robotic exoskeletons. At UW, she is studying how young children with disabilities interact with and learn to use powered mobility devices, and how using powered mobility impacts a child’s movement, language, and development.

Elijah is interested in computational biomechanics with a focus on modeling and simulation of pathological gait. He hopes his research lends insight to better understand and treat individuals with neuromuscular disorders affecting mobility. He is currently investigating muscular deficiencies and their effect on muscle synergies.
BS, Biomedical Engineering, Concentration: Biomechanics, Minor: Ethics – North Carolina State University
Charlotte is interested in using rehabilitation biomechanics to improve the quality of life of people with limited mobility. She is currently researching the application of spinal stimulation to improve physical therapy outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.
EDUCATIONBS in Mechanical Engineering, minor in Biomechanical Engineering – Colorado School of Mines
Megan is interested in using data-driven approaches to predict changes in movement after brain injury. She is currently investigating if discrepancy modeling with data-driven approaches enable more accurate dynamic solutions of bipedal locomotion with both impaired and unimpaired control.
