The Biomechanics Research Group operates at the intersection between mechanical and biomedical engineering, particularly emphasizing advanced computational and experimental methods. We specialize in simulation techniques such as multibody musculoskeletal modeling and finite element analysis of biological tissues, complemented by cutting-edge experimental biomechanics and frequently applied to design devices or interventions that interface with the human body.
Our research ranges from cellular mechanics to whole-body human movement, aiming to advance both fundamental understanding and practical applications in healthcare, rehabilitation, ergonomics, and sports performance.
The group has a strong international reputation in musculoskeletal simulation, including originally developing the AnyBody Modeling System, which laid the foundation for the spin-off company Anybody Technology. We continue expanding and refining simulation methodologies and their applications in clinical and industrial contexts.
We also host the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Knee Osteoarthritis, which develops computational models to improve understanding of disease progression and treatment strategies for knee osteoarthritis.
Educationally, the group is closely linked to the M.Sc. program in Biomechanical Engineering, where we train the next generation of researchers and engineers.
