Is there a doctor in the house? Yes - 3 of them! David Desmet, Danny Davis, and Kavya Katugam were hooded by their advisors Jon Dingwell, John Challis, and Jonas Rubenson. Congratulations all! 🎓🎉👏@PSUDingwellLab @KKatugam @DDavis_Biomech @PSUKINESGrad @JonasRubenson
Fantastic presentation by Kavya Katugam-Dechene to win the J. Biomechanics Award at this year's @AmSocBiomech meeting! Congratulations to Kavya and her co-authors @TalayahJohnson @StephenJPiazza and @JonasRubenson . @JBiomech
And that’s a wrap! Strong showing from @PSUBiomechLab at #ISB2023 and #ASB2023. Honored to get to do science with these amazing folks.
Congratulations to Lab alumna Frankie Wade @frankiewade21 , who is the recipient of the @AmSocBiomech Up-and-Comer Award! She will be mentored by an ASB fellow as she begins her faculty position at @SDSU and will deliver a talk at next year's meeting.
@AmSocBiomech 2023 here comes the @PSUBiomechLab!
Both of these excellent special issues are likely to become required reading for our future Biomechanics area PhD qualifying exams

Congratulations to Kavya Katugam-Dechene @KKatugam who has won the David Winter Young Investigator Award for Best Poster at the @ISBiomechanics meeting in Fukuoka. Kavya's advisor is @JonasRubenson . Well done, Kavya!!
⚠️ 🚨 Attn #ISB2023’ers! 🚨⚠️ Come spend the very last session (Thurs, 11am) of this wonderful conference in Room 7! I’ll be presenting some of my recent work on including the arch in whole-body computational simulations of gait. See you there! 🖥️ 🚶🦶
Here's Brian Davis delivering a presentation on the "Influence of Penn State University on the International Society of Biomechanics" at ISB in Fukuoka. Yes, he did lead a "We Are" cheer to open his talk.
Shubo Lyu earned her PhD in @pennstateime in 2021 and Yang Lu is now pursuing his PhD, both in the Biomechanics Lab and co-advised by Andris Freivalds and @StephenJPiazza , and today they got married! Best wishes to Shubo and Yang as they begin their new lives together!
Congrats to David Desmet, who successfully defended his kinesiology PhD today. David's thesis is entitled "How Older and Young Adults Balance Competing Lateral Stepping Objectives during Walking Maneuvers" and his thesis advisor is Jon Dingwell. Great work, David! @PSUKINESGrad
Congratulations to Danny Davis @DDavis_Biomech , who successfully defended his PhD in kinesiology today. The title of Danny's thesis is "Examining the Function of the Foot's Arch in Gait" and his thesis advisor is John Challis. Well done, Danny! @PSUKINESGrad @pennstatekines
Congratulations to Kavya Katugam-Dechene @KKatugam , who successfully defended her PhD in kinesiology this morning. The title of Kavya's thesis is "Developmental Plasticity of Locomotion: Energetics, Mechanics & Muscle" and she was advised by @JonasRubenson . Great job, Kavya!
