After missing the American Society of Biomechanics conference last year due to a thunderstorm and flight cancellations, it felt incredibly rewarding to finally attend American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) in Pittsburgh, PA.

I had the opportunity to present our work on a real-time and lightweight human activity recognition system using biomechanical features. It was an amazing experience to exchange ideas with experts in the biomechanics community and receive valuable feedback on our research.

The ASB Annual Meeting is one of the premier conferences in the field, bringing together researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to share the latest advances in biomechanics. This year’s meeting featured a wide range of topics from wearable sensing to clinical gait analysis.

PhD Candidate in Mechanical Engineering
I am a third-year PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maine’s Biorobotics and Biomechanics Lab, supervised by Dr. Babak Hejrati. My research focuses on developing wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based sensing systems for real-time gait analysis and fall prevention in elderly adults.
