Record snowfall in Erlangen required us to be creative with our study participants. Its stability was above average, the speed not so much.

There are a couple of weeks left to apply! I just heard that we can also accept PhD students with a suitable background, so extending the call to those as well. #biomech_sky

I’ll be presenting at #ISB2025 tomorrow at 09.10 in Room A1: Measuring Loads & Muscle Activity with AI. Join in if you’d like to hear about predictions of ankle moments from HD-EMG measurements and why we should check if NNs do more than predict the mean of the output data.

#ISB2025 Does marker-based optical motion capture stress participants, and do they walk differently then? This will be answered on Monday,28th 🕝 10:50-11:00 📍 Room C1 💪 Parallel session 2F - Locomotion (Influence of Pain & Perception) Come join :)

Tenured! I am incredibly grateful for the support at FAU, especially from @hornegger.bsky.social, Björn Eskofier, Philipp Beckerle, and Martin Vossiek. Of course, this step would have been impossible without the amazing researchers in my group, both past and present.

Stand Up for Science! @standupforscience.net · 21/06/2025

Join us in Cleveland as we fight back against the proposed cuts to NASA! The proposed FY26 budget cuts 40% of civil servant jobs at NASA Glenn, crippling their testing facilities that keep us safe. Let’s make sure it doesn’t go through! #Ohio #Cleveland #StandUpForScience

Graphic of a space shuttle launching with flames trailing behind. Overlaid text reads:
“NASA Glenn Research Center… generates $2.4 billion for Ohio, grants $100 million to Ohio universities, supports almost 10,000 jobs in Ohio.
Your representative is voting to… fire 40% of its employees, slash NASA funding by 24%, defund the NIH and NSF.
Speak up before it’s too late.
FIGHT BACK. STAND WITH NASA GLENN.

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.

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

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.
