Engineering to enhance human mobility
B.S. Mechanical Engineering – Auburn University
Mackenzie is interested in evaluating injury risk and rehabilitation of lower extremities. She is currently gaining new skills in research methodology and analysis by exploring biomechanical responses and adaptations to performance footwear.
BS, Mechanical Engineering, minor in Bioengineering – University of Notre Dame
Mia is interested in pediatric clinical biomechanics and the development of affordable assistive technology. She is excited about making assistive tech both easy and fun to use for kids. Mia is currently learning new skills from her lab mates and improving the Go Baby Go ride-on car adaptations.
BS, Mechanical Engineering, Minor: Human Movement Biomechanics – University of Dayton
MS, Mechanical Engineering – University of Dayton
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.
