Laura’s research integrates comparative functional morphology, biomechanics, and evolutionary modeling to study landmark functional transitions in primate forelimbs. In particular, Laura aims to characterize the evolution of the hominin forelimb from an...

I am a first year graduate student from Tokyo, Japan. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Philosophy from Tufts University and a Master's Degree in Biology and Nutrition from the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science. My current research...

Hola, My name is Joel Ramírez. I am first generation Mexican-American from Los Angeles, California. I have a B.S. in exercise science and M.S. in kinesiology from California State University Los Angeles. My primary research interests relate to the...

I'm a junior at Harvard College studying Human Biology, Behavior, and Evolution. My research interests focus on the energetics of endurance physical activity and its implications for human evolution, health, and performance. Outside of the lab, I enjoy...

Be n's research is focused on investigating the evolution of the human axial musculoskeleton. He develops and tests biomechanical, anatomical, and physiological models using 3D kinematic and kinetic, electromyography, musculoskeletal computer modeling...

I am a senior at Harvard College concentrating in Human Evolutionary Biology with a citation in Japanese. I am interested in human biomechanics and its relevance in athletic performance and sports injuries. Originally from San Antonio, I currently live in...

I study the biomechanics of the human foot to identify relationships between its musculoskeletal structure and function. My research has implications to our understanding of human evolution, how modern footwear affects locomotion biomechanics, and how...

Arm swing during walking and running plays an important role in balance and energy expenditure in humans. Over the course of human evolutionary history arms have gotten shorter overall, and the relative sizes of the different arm segments have changed as...
