Earlier this month, I defended my dissertation and completed my PhD in Robotics @GeorgiaTech! I’ve loved every bit of the last 5 years. Huge thanks to my awesome committee - @NeuromechanicsL @jamesmfinley @chubicki - and phenomenal co-advisors - @gregory_sawicki & Aaron Young. – at Georgia Tech, Atlanta

Congrats to all in this cohort! And, thanks to all who played a role in getting me to this milestone! Especially my home family (Katia, Elodie, Sonja), my @GT_PoWeR_Lab family, my colleagues and mentors, the School and the Institute. Woot!
7⃣ faculty members in the Woodruff School have been promoted to professor, effective August 15, 2024. Congrats to Rudolph Gleason, Seung Woo Lee, Peter Loutzenhiser, Christopher J. Saldaña, Gregory Sawicki, Aaron Stebner, and Shannon Yee on taking the next step in their careers.

Congrats to @birdBiomech @kiisanishikawa, leadership team and site PIs! We at @GT_PoWeR_Lab are excited to contribute a bit at GaTech site. At the outset, this has potential to be the top collaboration over a whole career. So excited to be part of it.
We are excited to announce our NSF-funded Integrative Movement Sciences Institute, led by a Co-PI team at UCI (Daley), USC (McNitt-Gray), NAU (Nishikawa), Co-Mines (Silverman) and GA-Tech (Sponberg), and collaborators at 21 institutions! shorturl.at/AFQX2

Thanks to the hard work and creativity of all star team @JordynSchroede4 and @Owen1Beck here is a sneak peek at our data set from long term use of wacky footwear. By far the most ambitious study to date in @GT_PoWeR_Lab . Super fun!

Stay tuned for forthcoming experimental results from @LTrej0314 @GT_PoWeR_Lab using powered ankle exoskeletons to intervene!
Latest modeling/simulation paper from @PeruvianOx asks a provocative question: Could walking with a diminished ankle push-off be a strategy used by older adults to mitigate the metabolic penalty we pay for lesser Achilles tendon stiffness? (1/3) journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
