Biomechanics Research

A common interest among all individual HPW staff members is that of biomechanics (human factors, human performance, ergonomics). All of our staff members are active in research efforts in their focused areas of interest and are well-published in refereed journals.

While some of the specific research topics may seem narrow in nature, aligned with the philosophy of HPW (serving as a link between engineering and medicine), our approach to research tends to be multi-disciplinary in nature. This combination of in-depth study of a particular question in addition to a more global view/interpretation of the empirical outcome allows HPW staff to be more appropriately prepared to address your particular questions or needs.
