Faculty
- John
H. Challis, Professor of Kinesiology
Research Interests: Measurement and simulation modeling
of the human musculo-skeletal system, with the aim of examining
the role, function, and coordination of muscle in vivo.
Development of improved biomechanical measurement protocols.
- Jinger Gottschall, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology
Research Interests: ...
- Teresa "Dena" Lang , Research Associate
Research Interests: Genetic determinants of skeletal strength and architecture. - Stephen
J. Piazza, Associate Professor of Kinesiology
Research Interests: Development of computational
tools for investigation of joint mechanics; computer simulation
applied to the study of normal and pathological human gait;
mechanical effects of surgical procedures intended to alter
joint and muscle function; mechanics of total joint replacements.
- Robert
Sainburg, Associate Professor of Kinesiology
Research Interests: Neural mechanisms underlying
control of multijoint arm movements in humans. We combine
both psychophysical experiments and biomechanical simulations
to determine the neural processes responsible for coordinating
the complex mechanics of the musculoskeletal system. Studies
in patients with neurological lesions are conducted to determine
the contributions of specific neural structures to control.
- Neil
A. Sharkey, Professor of Kinesiology, Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation; Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Education
Research Interests: Musculoskeletal research, including normal, pathologic, and reconstructed function of bones and joints; mechanisms of injury; internal biomechanical behavior of the foot and ankle; genetic determinants of bone health over the lifespan.
- Vladimir
Zatsiorsky, Professor of Kinesiology
Research Interests: Sport biomechanics and conditioning
of athletes. Biomechanical basis of motor control, in particular
biomechanics of standing posture and force sharing between
individual muscle groups. Maximal muscular power in burst-like
activities. MRI study of lumbar vertebrae under mechanical
load. Application of wavelets in human biomechanics. Science
of training athletes, especially strength training.
