Biomechanics Research
From 2007 to 2010 I was an undergraduate research apprentice in the University of Georgia Biomechanics Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Cathleen Brown-Crowell. I prepared test subjects for motion capture, recorded their movements, labeled datapoints for frames of footage, processed data with SPSS, and gathered results in spreadsheets.
