Community Engagement

Services and Activities

Here at the Division of Biomechanics and Research Development we are very interested in servicing the State of Nebraska. As we house the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability and the Department of Biomechanics, we offer services to our community as well as other researchers within the state.

The focus of the seminar series is to call for experts related to academia and research in the areas related to biomechanics, variability, motor disorders, physical therapy and related studies. The series includes local and nationally renowned professors and specialists presenting findings, stimulating thinking and creating collaboration ideas for the UNO faculty and students.

If you are interested in presenting, please contact Dr. Nick Stergiou.

Nonlinear Analysis Workshop

Every year, we offer a nonlinear workshop for members of our department and the biomechanics community worldwide. Participants travel from around US and Europe to Omaha to learn nonlinear mathematics and their application to human movement studies.  This workshop covers five days of lectures, hands on learning, and social events. If you are interested in attending, please check our link above. Information regarding the upcoming workshop is typically released in January.
