Stanford is hiring! The School of Engineering seeks an Executive Director for a new facility that will support student-led organizations that design and build things. Awesome opportunity. Feel free to reach out with questions: stevecollins@stanford.edu

Is this thing on?

We've had some fun research come out recently -- looking forward to posting on it here soon :-)

I like the recent push towards more explicit representations of the central nervous system in forward-dynamic musculoskeletal simulations. Here Veerkamp, van der Krogt, Carty, and team optimize reflex gains and supraspinal drive terms to understand toe walking: www.clinbiomech.com/article/S026...

Check out our preliminary human-in-the-loop optimization work for powered ankle prostheses. While our algorithm explicitly aimed to increase ankle angle symmetry (and was successful), it also reduced risk factors of hip and knee OA as a side effect.

The addbiomechanics.org tool is now citable!

Automatic model scaling for more accurate inverse kinematics and dynamics, in minutes.

Fun collab led by Karen Liu, kicked off by a survey here :-)

Much improved in past few months. Give it a try!

Hello, Bluesky!

Stoked to get back to the forever-conference :-)

I mostly post on research in biomechanics, wearable robots, human gait, motor learning, and related science.

I avoid politics and science-free self-promotion.

Looking forward to learning from you!
