We develop open source software tools, including OpenSim and Simbody, which enable scientists to develop and share accurate models and simulations of … More
Research Areas
Big Data Science to Improve Mobility
We lead the Mobilize Center, whose mission is to harness the vast amounts of data that have been collected by hundreds of research labs and millions … More
Biomedical Imaging
We develop and use advanced medical imaging techniques to determine muscle and bone geometry, measure in vivo joint and muscle motion, and … More
Optogenetics and Neuromodulation
We apply optogenetics to control neural activity in the peripheral nervous system. We have achieved light-mediated activation of motor neurons to … More
Human Movement Dynamics and Control
We use musculoskeletal modeling, dynamic simulations, motion capture experiments, and medical imaging to create an integrated understanding of human … More
Human Performance Laboratory
We use three-dimensional kinematics and forces, electromyography, and calorimetry to characterize the dynamics of movement and identify new ways to … More
