Tom Korff, Ph.D.
Now at the
Brunel University (online info )
Thomas' research interest is applying biomechanical techniques to answer questions in motor development. During his doctorate program, he studied age-related changes in muscular force application in order to understand the factors that cause changes in children's motor behaviour. The focus of Thomas' work has been the development of biomechanical models and simulations to estimate muscular forces and torques. His research is aimed at applying these techniques in practical settings and at creating effective interventions resulting in an improvement of motor performance in special populations. |

Courtney Hall, Ph.D.
Now at
Emory University (online info )
"I have focused my academic preparation and research concentration toward better understanding age-related (both normal and pathological) changes in balance control and how best to intervene therapeutically. I have been studying various risk factors for falls for a number of years. My research to this point has focused on motor and sensory contributions to balance control in older adults and how best to intervene therapeutically. I am currently involved in a study examining the relationship between dynamic visual acuity and fall risk in individuals with visual loss." |

Nick Brown , Ph.D.
Now at the
University of Utah (online info)
Dr Brown received his Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the University of Texas – Austin . He completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas , focusing on the development and validation of a musculoskeletal model of the equine forelimb. He joined the faculty in the Department of Orthopaedics in January of 2003 as a Research Assistant Professor in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory. He also holds adjunct appointments in the Departments of Bioengineering and Exercise Science. Dr Brown's research interests include the study of muscle function following tendon transfer and translational osteotomy surgeries in the foot and ankle, as well as correction and control of angular deformities (genu valgum/varum) in the lower limbs of growing children. |
