IMS-SRI Workshop 1: Markerless Motion Capture
The kick-off workshop of the IMS-Summer Research Institute will demonstrate markerless motion capture. Workshop 1 will be led by Dr. Nidhi Seethapathi postdoctoral researcher at Penn, Dr. McNitt-Gray a professor of Biological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at USC, Dr. Kelli Sharp an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at UCI, and Harper Stewart a…
IMS-SRI Workshop 2: Live-stream Demonstration of Manduca Moth In-Situ Preparation
Workshop 2 of the IMS-SRI led by Dr. Simon Sponberg, Dunn Family Associate Professor of Physics and Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech. This workshop will be a live-stream demonstration of a Manduca moth in-situ preparation.
IMS-SRI Workshop 3: Muscle Physiology Using Isolated Muscle Preparations
IMS-SRI Workshop 3 will demonstrate muscle physiology using isolated muscle preparations: Classic techniques for measuring muscle properties (isometric force length, isotonic force velocity, work loops), their limitations, and new techniques based on model-based real time control or dynamic strain trajectories. This workshop is led by Elizabeth Mendoza PhD student at UCI, Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa Regents'…
IMS-SRI Workshop 4: Materials-based Models of Muscle Mechanical Function
Workshop 4 will focus on materials-based models of muscle mechanical function. This workshop is led by Associate Professor of mechanical engineering & materials science at Yale University, Dr. Madhusudhan Venkadesan and Regents' Professor at Northern Arizona University, Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa.
