Big congrats to Anna Corman for winning Best Doctoral Podium at RMASB! 🏆

She crushed her talk on how personalizing musculoskeletal models—esp. muscle strength—affects joint contact force estimates and injury risk.

#MinesME PhD candidate Mike Miller shared his analysis of ankle muscle function in sit-to-walk using musculoskeletal modeling.

Great energy from the RMASB crowd—already excited for next year!

Day 2 Rocky Mountain ASB - Jordan Sturdy presenting on behalf of Mines ME undergrad research fellow Ava Watson sharing work on body center of mass motion during a step down task.

Appreciate all the thoughtful discussion from the regional biomechanics community!

Day 2 of Rocky Mountain ASB was excellent!

Sabrina Kazi, Mines ME undergrad research fellow mentored by Mike Miller, presented her results on ground reaction forces as an effect of age and limb during sit-to-stand.

Shoutout to Anna Corman for crushing it as a finalist in the 3-Minute Thesis Competition at Mines! 🎉👏

Breaking down complex research for a broad audience is no small feat, and Anna nailed it. Huge props for making technical concepts clear, engaging, and impactful!

Mines ME MS student Alicia Kanai presenting her work on using a modeling framework to investigate muscle coactivation during landing at the Mines Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium! Great work! #Biomechanics #Hopping #Research #biomechsky

Mines ME PhD student Will Feldman presenting his evaluation of muscle excitations and joint kinetics during hopping at Mines Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium! Great work! Excited for this collaboration with @lukenjessup.bsky.social and @birdbiomech.bsky.social #IMSI #Biomechanics

I guess it is pretty creepy that this scorpion has an endoskeleton and not an exoskeleton. #spookyseason #biomechsky

Rocky Mountain ASB day 1 was a smashing success. Functional Biomechanics Lab members Claire Beebe, Kagan Giltinan, and Mike Miller shared their work on muscle activity in older adults when riding and back pack kinematics during heavy load carriage. We are ready for day 2 in Estes Park! #biomechsky
