First-year PhD student Autumn Routt Autumn Routt (co-advised with Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting) had a blast at the #NextProfPathfinder2023 workshop in Ann Arbor! Future academic superstar on the rise!


Latest modeling/simulation paper from Ricky Pimentel, PhD asks a provocative question: Could walking with a diminished ankle push-off be a strategy used by older adults to mitigate the metabolic penalty we pay for lesser Achilles tendon stiffness? (1/3) journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…


Stay tuned for forthcoming experimental results from Lindsey Trejo GaTech PoWeR Lab using powered ankle exoskeletons to intervene!

A huge thank you to Georgia Tech ME for this fellowship and recognition! It's been such a joy to work with bright and inquisitive undergrad researchers over the last four years. Mentoring rocks.

GaTech PoWeR Lab fun collab with Sean Thomas and Jonas Rubenson !



Emily M. Abbott (Duke Biomedical Engineering) et al. investigate changes in muscle spindle firing using added series elastic elements, and characterize the accompanying changes in firing with respect to muscle–tendon unit and muscle fascicle displacements! 📜buff.ly/3UdGfYA

Thanks to the hard work and creativity of all star team Jordyn Schroeder and Owen Beck here is a sneak peek at our data set from long term use of wacky footwear. By far the most ambitious study to date in GaTech PoWeR Lab . Super fun!

A huge thank you to Journal of Experimental Biology for this recognition and highlighting our paper on this year's shortlist for the Outstanding Paper Prize! Check out the shortlisted and winning papers in the JEB news article below. GaTech PoWeR Lab EPIC Lab Gregory S. Sawicki


We're building robotic exoskeletons with Children's to help children with brain damage walk again. Check it out: atlantanewsfirst.com/video/2024/02/… via Atlanta News First

Congrats to @birdBiomech Kiisa Nishikawa, leadership team and site PIs! We at GaTech PoWeR Lab are excited to contribute a bit at GaTech site. At the outset, this has potential to be the top collaboration over a whole career. So excited to be part of it.


Congrats to all in this cohort! And, thanks to all who played a role in getting me to this milestone! Especially my home family (Katia, Elodie, Sonja), my GaTech PoWeR Lab family, my colleagues and mentors, the School and the Institute. Woot!

Our new paper is out now - "A data-driven approach to estimate human center of mass state during perturbed locomotion using simulated wearable sensors" in Annals of Biomedical Engineering! Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10439… EPIC Lab GaTech PoWeR Lab Gregory S. Sawicki


Check out PoWeR labbies at ASB 2024! We’re showcasing the lab’s awesome work through posters/thematic sessions, plus Kristen Jakubowski Jenny Leestma leading some great convos in their symposiums! American Society of Biomechanics


Earlier this month, I defended my dissertation and completed my PhD in Robotics Georgia Tech! I’ve loved every bit of the last 5 years. Huge thanks to my awesome committee - Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting James Finley Christian Hubicki - and phenomenal co-advisors - Gregory S. Sawicki & Aaron Young.
