Prospective Students and Employees

We are always looking for good students interested in our work. The Nonlinear Biodynamics Lab is located in the department of Kinesiology & Health Education (Bellmont Hall). However, opportunities exist for students to pursue graduate research degrees (Master's and Ph.D.) and sometimes undergraduate research projects (Independent Studies) through either the Department of Kinesiology or the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

Department of Kinesiology:

The Movement Science Graduate Program within the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas offers comprehensive advanced training in the biomechanics and motor control of human motion leading to both Masters and Doctoral degrees.

For admission into the Movement Science Graduate Program in Kinesiology, the main considerations are: (a) the course background of the student (science courses, including Physics, Mechanics, Mathematics (including Calculus), Computer Science, Anatomy, Physiology, etc.); (b) the student's “quantitative” and “analytical” GRE scores, which should be at least in the high 600s, and preferably in the 700s; and (c) the student's record of interest and academic performance in the biomechanics of human movement. Strong aptitude for mathematics and mechanics is essential and at least some background in the biological sciences is also desirable. Outstanding students from the biological and engineering sciences are encouraged to apply.

Department of Biomedical Engineering:

In addition to his primary appointment in Kinesiology, Dr. Dingwell is also a full member of the Graduate Studies Committee in the Biomedical Engineering Department. This allows Dr. Dingwell to also supervise and mentor both Master's and Ph.D. students in Biomedical Engineering.
