Position Description
Opportunities are ongoing, but please reach out by mid-Fall 2023 if the project needs to be completed by Spring 2024.
Project Description
I am available to mentor an Honors College student that is interested in getting involved in biomechanics research in the FORCE Laboratory at OSU-Cascades. I have two ongoing projects that investigate the effect of maximal running shoe design on running biomechanics, as well as the effect of a trail running surface and shoes on running biomechanics. Students may also have the opportunity to assist with a project on cutting biomechanics after ACL reconstruction and walking biomechanics in older adults with knee osteoarthritis, which should be wrapping up in the next few months. Due to the in-person nature of our research, this opportunity is only available to OSU-Cascades students. Any major is welcome, but Kinesiology, Engineering or Outdoor Product students may be the best fit..
