BYU Applied Biomechanics Engineering Laboratory

We are kicking off a bold new experiment that we hope will provide opportunities for faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, local professionals and interested clinicians an opportunity to learn, network, and discuss biomechanics-related research, problem solving, and medical device development. It is called “Biomechanics Grand Rounds”, and is modeled after the Grand Rounds mode of teaching and sharing case studies that is used in medical education, as well as in clinical practice by medical professionals.

The format is an interactive biomechanics-related case study presentation, where there is a combination of prepared information, augmented by guided Q&A with the audience. Each case study will last between 30-40 minutes total. We hope that you can join us!

More information can be found here:

Biomechanics Grand Rounds Come join us as we discuss Case Studies in biomechanics-related research, problem solving, and medical device development. Thursdays at 7am in the Engineering Building.

Meet Danni! She’s a grad student working with the lab to build better spinal implants that enable natural motion. Outside of the lab, she loves painting landscapes, playing the cello, and spending time with her siblings!

Meet David! He’s a grad student working with the lab to better diagnose knee injuries using nanocomposite strain gauges. When he’s not in the lab, he enjoys spending time with his family and coaching CrossFit!

Meet Paul! He’s a grad student from Canada who joined our lab this January. He’s working on a solution to better diagnose back problems so that patients can receive treatment instead of relying on opioids. Outside of school he enjoys playing soccer, hiking, reading, and collecting unique instruments!
