Malcolm, Philippe - University of Nebraska Omaha

个人简介

I have worked on exoskeletons for walking, running footwear and sports biomechanics at different interdisciplinary labs at Harvard, Carnegie Mellon and Ghent University. I developed the first robotic exoskeleton that effectively made walking easier. This result was achieved by using a biomechanics-inspired approach, by varying the push-off timing around the predicted optimum from a mathematical model and rigorously testing this in human experiments.. My research team at University of Nebraska Omaha studies biomechanics and energetics of gait with special focus on dynamic interaction with wearable devices and the environment Education 2004-2010 : Ph.D., Ghent University Thesis: Influence of intrinsic and extrinsic determinants on the transition from walking to running.Advisor: Dirk De Clercq, committee: Andre Seyfarth, Marc Van Leemputte, Jos Vanrenterghem, Kristiaan D’Aout, Eric Witvrouw, Wim Derave 2002-2003 : Second M.Sc., Academic Teaching Training, Ghent University 2000-2002 : M.Sc. in Physical Education (Kinesiology), Ghent University, grade: magna cum laude 1998-2000 : B.Sc. in Physical Education (Kinesiology), Ghent University, grade: cum laude

研究领域

Long-term goals are to expand the diagnostic capabilities of gait analysis, improve gait rehabilitation and inform design of orthotics and exoskeletons. Ongoing research directions include measurement techniques for energy expenditure, exoskeleton optimization and footwear biomechanics.
