Biomechanics Laboratory
Our scope
Mission
Focus
Collaborations & Services:
- Educational and training opportunities for KU students via internships, research assistants, and coursework.
- Collaborate with other KU departments and other HSES laboratories on the Lawrence Campus.
- Collaborate with the Orthopedic Sports Medicine Research Team with Dr. Bryan Vopat in KU Medical Center, The University of Kansas Health System Sports Medicine and Performance Center (a PT clinic in Overland Park, Kansas City), and the Exercise & Human Performance Laboratory (Edwards Campus with Dr. Ashley Herda).
Opportunities for Students & Fellow Researchers:
The Biomechanics Laboratory is always open to students who are interested in studying exercise science, sports science, and/or biomechanics in human movements at the University of Kansas. Students will be engaged in research activities, including learning professional equipment, assisting with data collection and processing, and participating in professional conferences. Students are also encouraged and highly supported to develop their own projects for their goals. You are welcome to contact our lab to discuss your interests.
