Congratulations to Kavya Katugam-Dechene Kavya Katugam-Dechene, PhD , who successfully defended her PhD in kinesiology this morning. The title of Kavya's thesis is "Developmental Plasticity of Locomotion: Energetics, Mechanics & Muscle" and she was advised by @JonasRubenson . Great job, Kavya!

Congratulations to Danny Davis Danny Davis, PhD , who successfully defended his PhD in kinesiology today. The title of Danny's thesis is "Examining the Function of the Foot's Arch in Gait" and his thesis advisor is John Challis. Well done, Danny! PSU Kinesiology Grad Program Penn State Kines

Congratulations, Frankie!

Congrats to David Desmet, who successfully defended his kinesiology PhD today. David's thesis is entitled "How Older and Young Adults Balance Competing Lateral Stepping Objectives during Walking Maneuvers" and his thesis advisor is Jon Dingwell. Great work, David! PSU Kinesiology Grad Program

Shubo Lyu earned her PhD in Penn State IME in 2021 and Yang Lu is now pursuing his PhD, both in the Biomechanics Lab and co-advised by Andris Freivalds and @StephenJPiazza , and today they got married! Best wishes to Shubo and Yang as they begin their new lives together!

⚠️ 🚨 Attn #ISB2023’ers! 🚨⚠️ Come spend the very last session (Thurs, 11am) of this wonderful conference in Room 7! I’ll be presenting some of my recent work on including the arch in whole-body computational simulations of gait. See you there! 🖥️ 🚶🦶

Here's Brian Davis delivering a presentation on the "Influence of Penn State University on the International Society of Biomechanics" at ISB in Fukuoka. Yes, he did lead a "We Are" cheer to open his talk.

Congratulations to Kavya Katugam-Dechene Kavya Katugam-Dechene, PhD who has won the David Winter Young Investigator Award for Best Poster at the IntSoc Biomechanics meeting in Fukuoka. Kavya's advisor is @JonasRubenson . Well done, Kavya!!

Great collection of articles guest edited by John Challis and Biomechanics Lab alumnus Todd Pataky

Both of these excellent special issues are likely to become required reading for our future Biomechanics area PhD qualifying exams

American Society of Biomechanics 2023 here comes the Penn State Biomechanics Laboratory!

Congratulations to Lab alumna Frankie Wade @frankiewade21 , who is the recipient of the American Society of Biomechanics Up-and-Comer Award! She will be mentored by an ASB fellow as she begins her faculty position at San Diego State University and will deliver a talk at next year's meeting.

And that’s a wrap! Strong showing from Penn State Biomechanics Laboratory at #ISB2023 and #ASB2023. Honored to get to do science with these amazing folks.

Fantastic presentation by Kavya Katugam-Dechene to win the J. Biomechanics Award at this year's American Society of Biomechanics meeting! Congratulations to Kavya and her co-authors @TalayahJohnson @StephenJPiazza and @JonasRubenson . Journal of Biomechanics

Is there a doctor in the house? Yes - 3 of them! David Desmet, Danny Davis, and Kavya Katugam were hooded by their advisors Jon Dingwell, John Challis, and Jonas Rubenson. Congratulations all! 🎓🎉👏@PSUDingwellLab Kavya Katugam-Dechene, PhD Danny Davis, PhD PSU Kinesiology Grad Program @JonasRubenson

Great job, Anna!!!
