IMSI Summer Institute 2024_Flyer The IMSI Summer Institute is an interdisciplinary research and training incubator that involves a network of faculty spanning 21 institutions across the country. Each research team will collaborate on a specific research project aligned with IMSI themes of investigating 1) dynamic muscular control of movement in unsteady and perturbed conditions, 2)…
Kick off meeting for Summer Research Institute being hosted around the United States. Students arrived on campus to begin projects at University of California, Irvine this week. Meeting will cover the scope of all the projects and the overall goals of the institute.
Research workshop discussing the differences in isolated muscle experiments ranging from in situ to ex vivo techniques that are used in the field. Presented by Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa (NAU), Dr. Jenna Monroy (Claremont McKenna College) , and Dr. Greg Sawicki (Georgia Tech).
Research workshop on integrating computational modeling and biophysical experiments to investigate and illustrate the molecular basis of muscle contraction. Presented by Dr. Bruce Tanner (Washington State University)
Research workshop discussing ex vivo muscle work loops of hawk moths, covering work loop basics, considerations when mounting isolated muscle, how to set up initial inputs, and work loop data. Presented by Dr. Simon Sponberg and Ethan Wold (Georgia Tech).
Research workshop about optimal control introduction with MATLAB interactive model building. Presented by Dr. Christian Hubicki (FAMU-FSU College of Engineering).
Research workshop discussing movement emerging from through hierarchical set of sensorimotor loops. Presented by Dr. James Finley (University of Southern California) and Dr. Kelli Sharp (University of California, Irvine).
Research workshop discussing how modeling approaches allow for systematical investigation and exploration of theoretical scenarios. Presented by Dr. Monica Daley (University of California, Irvine), Dr. Anne Silverman and Dr. Katie Knaus (Colorado School of Mines).
Research workshop discussing moving work-loops from muscle-level on the bench top to joint-level in humans. Presented by Dr. Greg Sawicki (Georgia Tech).
Research workshop discussing superposition of convolution, superposed sinusoids as dynamic, and tunable matter is piecewise linear. Presented by Dr. Madhusudhan Venkadesan (Yale University).
