Graduated
from the University of Waterloo (Canada) in 1997 with a Bachelor’s
degree in Systems Design Engineering with industrial experience
at the Canadian Space Agency (Ottawa, CA), CAE Electronics
Inc. (Montreal, CA) and Visible Genetics Inc. (VGI: now Bayer
Diagnostics; Toronto, CA). He received his Master’s
degree in Systems Design Engineering specializing in the modeling
and simulation of human upper-limb movements using optimal
control theory. He completed his Master’s degree in
2000 and returned to VGI as a Software Engineer to develop
proprietary DNA sequencing and diagnostic algorithms. Passionate
about musculoskeletal modeling and biomechanics, he returned
to academia in 2002 to pursue his Doctorate under the guidance
of Marcus G. Pandy at the University of Texas at Austin. His
doctorate work has focused on generating human musculoskeletal
system simulations with both greater computing efficiency
and realism by adopting control system techniques that combine
forward and inverse dynamics analyses. He was a 2004 ISB Dissertation
Grant holder, a University of Texas Continuing Fellow (2004-05)
and was granted the Komor New Investigator Award by the ISB
Technical Group on Computer Simulation in 2005.
His ongoing interests include the automatic generation of
patient specific models from imaging and clinical protocols
and the integration of these models and simulations into the
clinical regimen to analyze and treat musculoskeletal disorders.
