We’re ready for #BMES2024! Visit @WPI_BME at Booth 737 to learn about our graduate programs and REU program. We also have current faculty, staff, and students here to chat with you!
Great to see Kate and Bry this morning!

Do you ever wonder which multi segment foot model is the right one for your research question? This and other questions that keep us up at night are now answered! Plus, we have detailed instructions on creating these models using @cmotioninc V3D. Read on:sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
So proud of @WPI_BME student Elie Bowman! Looking forward to reconnecting at @AmSocBiomech next week! You’re making @WPI look great!
Our fantastic undergrad Elizabeth Bowman wrapped up her 10-week summer research project in the Sayu Lab today w a stellar poster presentation (@uofuour)! She’s looking for grad schools for FA’25 and she’s a candidate you won’t want to miss, go find her at @AmSocBiomech next week!

What a great day on @WPI campus! Our @WPI_BME students all presented their senior projects today. I am proud of my two design teams. This group created a cool outreach demo (involving jumping) that they presented as part of @BiomechanicsDay — with great success.
Thank you @AmSocBiomech for the research travel grant. @lenzetal and I are collecting some very cool data on her robotic foot simulator. Enjoying the lab and the Utah mountains! @WPI_BME @UofUOrtho @UtahBME #footandankle #biomechanics #robotics
I’m honored to be in such excellent company @aimbe ! Thanks to @WPI @WPI_BME and especially Kris Billiar for your support! Also, how fun to see others from the ELATES program!
Congrats to some of my fellow biomechanics who were inducted as @aimbe fellows today! @Troy_BiomechLab @MoBLNCSU @LaurelKuxhaus and Ruth Ochia! @ORSsociety @AmSocBiomech @BMESociety
I’m so excited to present some of the great research that my @WPI_BME students have been working on at @UFBME next week! Thanks for the invitation @BLT_BME !
Join us Monday, Communicore C1-11, as we welcome Dr. Karen Troy to our BME seminar series. @Troy_BiomechLab
Julia Nicolescu did a fantastic job presenting her work on multi-segmented foot biomechanics and dynamic arch collapse during running. #ORS2024 #proudphdadvisor #biomechanics @ORSsociety @WPI_BME
My lab crew is the best! They indulged the Girl Scout leader in me and went orienteering this weekend. I rank this one of the best team building activities ever (except for the tick I found in my arm this morning)! @WPI_BME
Know how they keep telling you that the more grants you apply for, the more you will get? I know it’s statistically true, but I set a personal record yesterday with 4 rejections in a single day. Going to buy myself some fancy chocolate now…
I’d forgotten what a great meeting the #ORSMSK2023 meeting is. I learned so much that is new to me and met more great people!Plus, it wouldn’t be a good conference without a good hike (and some bonus miles due to a road closure) @ORSsociety @jboerckel and many others
