Congratulations to Ella Swank on being selected for the prestigious Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM) Fellowship!

Ella is the first student from UNO to join this global program dedicated to "repairing the world" through innovative, user-centered design and assistive technology solutions. Over the next nine months, she will collaborate with an international cohort, participate in advanced workshops, receive project seed funding, and develop impactful solutions for individuals and communities in Omaha and beyond.
We are incredibly proud of Ella's accomplishment and excited to see the difference she will make through engineering, innovation, and service. Congratulations, Ella!

Some of our faculty and students attended the 2026 Greater Omaha Heart and Stroke Walk to talk about their research helping patients with heart and vascular disease!

Congratulations to the 2026 Great Plains Biomechanics and Human Movement Variability Conferences award winners!

Last month, Biomechanics Seniors presented their Capstone Design projects. Students design and build Biomechanical devices, working with a sponsor, faculty advisor, and the machine shop to create their project.

We can't wait to see what these Mavericks will do as alumni!

In April, doctoral students Chris Engsberg and Sangwon Shin had the opportunity to attend the Society for the Neural Control of Movement conference in Kobe, Japan. Between conference sessions, they enjoyed exploring the city, taking in Kobe's unique blend of modern architecture, scenic green spaces, and stunning waterfront skyline.

Attending international conferences provides valuable opportunities to share research, connect with scientists from around the world, and experience new cultures. We are proud to see our students representing the Department of Biomechanics around the world!
