Our paper on sparse sensorsets was published: www.frontiersin.org/journals/bio...! Happy to get it out after many private and professional challenges. We show that as long as there are IMUs on the feet and the thighs/pelvis, simulations are similarly accurate as with a full lower leg IMU setup.

Good Morning! On this day, (Sat.) Jan. 4 in 1883 Johanna Westerdijk was born. She was a Dutch plant pathologist and the first female professor in the Netherlands. By determining the role played by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi in plant disease, she advanced progress. #WomeninSTEM 🧪

We have open sourced our simulation toolbox: github.com/mad-lab-fau/.... We have been using it for many years in many publications, and I’m very happy that it is now available to all! Many thanks to all coauthors and to adidas for their support in the development and release. Happy simulating!

Our paper was published! When combining biomechanics datasets for ML training, bias might be introduced. We show that ML models can identify dataset source really well. Thus, training on multiple datasets can lead to identifying the source instead of data characteristics: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Please consider this petition calling to remove carnivorous fish farms as economically sustainable. Scientific evidence shows that they harm the environment and local economies around the world suffer, all just to gain profit for a small group of investors. And don’t eat their fish! fishfarmsout.org

New preprint! We trained a neural network on dynamic muscle force recordings and showed that it can better estimate muscle forces than a Hill model. This is a first step towards more accurate muscle force estimations in human simulations as well, but a long ways to go. #biomechsky

Submitted the ERC Starting Grant proposal. Which offers to the reviewer gods do you suggest now?

The shoe choice was not good for the goal of getting back home, it was good for the goal of having new ideas about gait adaptations in new and unexpected environments. Now on to removing any thorns from my feet.

Hello World! I am a junior professor in computational biomechanics. We research human gait, mainly using simulations, and some machine learning. We try to predict gait in new situations, and reconstruct gait from incomplete measurements. Oh and news: I’ll switch into a tenured position in 2 years.
