Biomechanics on our Minds

An interview with Professor Steve Collins features the latest research in the field of biomechatronics, with a focus on the design of exoskeletons and their integration into the real world and the future of robotics with biological applications.

In this episode, we speak with Professor Emeritus Mary Rodgers on how to create meaningful mentorships and continue to foster them over time. Also learn about the oldest known prosthesis and tips for conducting an informational interview.

This episode features an interview with Dr. Jill McNitt-Gray on her research on neuromuscular control and dynamics of human movements, including with Olympians. She also discusses the power of collaboration across Universities and disciplines as she begins to tackle a multi-institute biomechanics collaboration.

On this episode, we speak with Felipe Carpes, professor at Universidade Federal do Pampa in Brazil, on biomechanics in economically developing countries and hear from a student who participated in research in another country. As usually, we include a bit of biomechanics and some research fails.

Episode 2 of Biomechanics on our Minds features an interview with Scott Delp of Stanford University on Open Science and Women in Engineering. We also start our first segment of research fails!

This is the first episode of BOOM (Biomechanics on our Minds). This episode features an interview with Brian Davis on biomechanics "off the beaten path" and an interview with Paul DeVita, the founder of National Biomechanics Day.
