His main research interest is focused in the field of foot and ankle, muscle, tendon, biomechanics, sports.
John Leicester Williams
John Leicester Williams, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee. Research interests include: biomechanical engineering, mechanobiology of growth plate cartilage, orthopaedic biomechanics, biomechanics of total joint replacements and of oral implants, knee joint kinematics and kinetics, mechanical properties of bone and cartilage. Academic Editor of PLoS ONE.
Anita E Wluka
Anita is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, and a Clinical Rheumatologist, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne.
Recognised as a world-leader in osteoarthritis research, Anita is based at The Alfred hospital where she combines research with clinical practice as a physician. Her work has contributed to guidelines for managing hip and knee osteoarthritis developed through the Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners National Health and Medical Research Council.
Vanessa R Yingling
Dr. Yingling is a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University, East Bay. Her undergraduate degree was in Bioengineering from the University of California-San Diego. She obtained her master’s degree in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo and her Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Biomechanics) from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She trained as a post-doctoral fellow for 2 years in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Yingling’s research interest is “How to grow a strong skeleton - The effect of exercise and loading on bone structure and strength. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Amir A. Zadpoor
Amir Zadpoor studied Biomed Eng for his MSc and obtained his PhD (cum laude) from Delft Univ. Tech. He joined the Dept. Biomech. Eng. to work in the area of tissue biomechanics and implants in 2010 and started a research lab focusing on biomaterials, orthopedics, and biomechanics of tissues and implants. Amir is on the review and editorial board of several journals and has published many peer-reviewed article. He recently received the prestigious ERC and Veni personal grants.
