Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Biomechanics

Highly skilled, energetic, and motivated professional empowered by over a decade of cross-disciplinary engineering and scientific applications experience. Presenting elegant solutions to prevalent biomedical challenges. Motivated by driving deliverable outcomes from complex research studies through effective leadership, active consulting work, and innovative problem-solving techniques. Seeking to make an immediate impact in a fast-paced biotechnology environment capitalizing on my advanced comprehension, continued professional growth, strategic product development expertise, and active network of personal connections across all areas of science, engineering, medicine, manufacturing and healthcare.

I am a Sport and Human Performance Scientist specializing in sport science and how tech/data can support performance development. Over the last 8 years, I have worked with athletes and other high performers across a range of applied and research settings, and have published over 20 peer-reviewed research publications spanning several areas of sports science. I am passionate about blending the art and science of sport and human performance, and helping identify and implement effective strategies for maximizing performance. Recently, I have been focused on how technology and data can be efficiently integrated into different performance settings. I look forward to connecting with others that are passionate about sport, fitness, research, and data/technology!

Associate Professor Keogh is an exercise scientist whose research focuses on better understanding the relationship between muscle mass, strength and physical performance in athletes as well as older adults at risk of disability and poor health outcomes. A recent research and advocacy focus has been on the geriatric syndrome of sarcopenia, defined as a progressive loss of muscle mass, muscular strength and physical performance. His sarcopenia research and advocacy has focused on its epidemiology in residential aged care, the use of the SARC-F sarcopenia screening tool and the benefits and translational ability of progressive balance and resistance training to offset the sarcopenia adverse events. He is intimately involved with our two key national Australian organisations, Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) as well as the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA). He is an Accredited Sport Scientist with ESSA (ASpSc2) and an accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach with ASCA (Level II - Professional).   Much of his sports science research is now focusing on female athletic populations in order to help address the inequalities in the sports science research filed that has typically focused on male athletes. Example of this female-focused (or at least female inclusive) research include Australian Rules football, BMX, rugby sevens, strongman, surfing and swimming.

Patrick is a visionary clinical engineer and academic, leads an interdisciplinary research centre, driving groundbreaking health-related research projects from mechanistic work to delivering clinical trials. His dynamic leadership and innovative approach are revolutionized healthcare, creating commercial innovation and inspires dynamic upcoming research talents around him and beyond.

Dr. Andrea Corti holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from The City College of New York. His research interests include tissue mechanics, cellular transport, and biomechanics. He received his BS and MS in biomedical engineering with a specialization in Prosthesis and Implant Design from the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Groningen, respectively. He has experience working in both industry and academia, and has been a teaching assistant for several courses in his department.

I have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with proven experience in product and process design, scientific research, and higher education. I am a problem solver and team leader with excellent analytical, communication, and technical skills. As an accomplished researcher with a detail-oriented, results-driven approach to scientific discovery, I have a prolific publication record and am a recognized expert of biomechanics and mechanical testing. In my main work as a professor of engineering, I mentor students and serve as Principal Investigator in a National Science Foundation S-STEM grant. A student group I mentored was a finalist in the Community College Innovation Challenge. This role has afforded me the opportunity to explore research and entrepreneurial interests, including starting my own biomedical devices company.

Hello! I'm a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Candidate at McGill University. My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, engineering, and medicine. Currently, I'm engaged in developing and validating novel surgical training simulators through state-of-the-art VR/AR technologies. #### Academic Research As a published author, my work has been accepted and presented at world-renowned conferences such as the ORS PSRS 6th International Spine Research Symposium and the 11th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Girdle Pain. I focus on rigorous methodological approaches and the application of machine learning algorithms in the healthcare domain. #### Technical Skills * Proficient in Developing Machine Learning Algorithms: From initial conceptualization to full functionality. * Specialized in Validating VR/AR Surgical Simulations: Conducting face, content, and construct validity studies. * Experienced in medical/surgical device development including surgical robotics. * Expertise in Conducting Randomized Controlled Trials: From preparation (writing protocols, designing questionnaires, IRB applications) to execution (participant recruitment, data collection) and analysis (data post-processing, statistical analyses). #### Business Acumen My experience as the Business Development and Operations Director at Alkadri Trading Co. has honed my strategic business mindset, optimizing ROI and capitalizing on organizational strengths to drive growth. #### Awards & Distinctions I have consistently been in the top 5% of my graduate class in the faculty of Engineering at McGill University. Among my accolades are the best graduating Honours thesis, first place in the final departmental examinations, and multiple graduate scholarships including the Vadasz Scholar McGill Engineering Doctoral Award and the McGill Engineering Undergraduate Student Masters Award. #### Teaching & Mentorship Besides research, I've mentored bioengineering students in their capstone projects and have served as a Teaching Assistant at McGill. #### Let's Connect I'm always open to collaborating on impactful research, discussing innovative solutions in machine learning and medical simulation, and exploring business aspects in these fields.
