Profiles in "Biomechanics" Expertise Area

  • Abbas is the director of the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems. His research interests are in applications of neural engineering techniques and technology in the area of medical rehabilitation.
  • Dounskaia investigates how the central nervous system adjusts its descending signals to the biomechanical properties of the limbs. Her teaching interests include fundamental issues of motor control and their applications.
  • Ferry's research is centered on questions relating to the evolution of jaws and their function in the aquatic realm, as well as the performance of skeletal materials such as cartilage.
  • Pavlic (electrical eng., computer sci., & behavioral ecology) uses ecological thinking to enhance design of engineered complex adaptive systems and engineering tools to find new perspectives on biological form and function.
  • Mr. Marsit is a teaching professor and program director for Sports Science and Performance Programming for the College of Health Solutions at ASU.
  • Dr. Lockhart is the Inaugural MORE Foundation Professor of Life in Motion Professor in the Biomedical Engineering program in the School of Biological Health and Systems Engineering at Arizona State University.
  • Dr. Nickerson studies the effects of biomechanical forces on microbial and human cells on Earth and in space, how this response is related to normal homeostasis or disease, and translation to biomedical/biotech applications.
  • Director, Military and Veteran Resilience and Health Innovation Collaborative (MVRHIC) Program Director, MS Strength and Conditioning
