The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida is conducting a broad search for tenure-track faculty.
One of the areas of focus is robotics. I'd love to welcome a new colleague and potential collaborator working at the interface of robotics and humans!
I'm looking for a PhD student to join the lab in Fall 2026! Please share with anyone who may be interested in biomechanics, gait, and using inertial measurement units to measure kinematics in real-world settings.
Brand new POSTDOC opportunity in my lab (!!) will help lead a multi-institutional collaboration designed to enhance understanding of anatomic variability in Achilles tendinopathy toward more effective, personalized clinical interventions.

Yes, we do this to estimate ~sagittal axes from walking rather than relying on people calibrating each day. I like the idea of building in some constraints to improve estimations when uncertainty increases but wonder how this might impact cases where gait truly varies within or between people.
Thoughts on estimating or defining sensor-to-segment position and orientation for real-world uses where direct measurement is impractical? Our current approaches use functional orientation or assumptions about orientation relative to gravity but this limits which biomechanics you can estimate.
Enjoying this thread! "Knowing" the position and orientation of an IMU on a segment is an important step for biomechanics that require estimates of segment orientation. Thanks for sharing how you're measuring or defining this (I sometimes feel that we don't advertise assumptions enough).
