Keynote – Ajit Chaudhari, Ohio State Univeristy
An Unexpected Journey to the “Core” of Human Movement
Viewing the moving human as a mechanical system can provide unique insights into why the body breaks down, how we can prevent injury and disease, and how we can help people perform better. Moreover, applying intentional design thinking allows us as biomechanists to collaborate effectively with others in science, health care, and product development to improve health and quality of life. In this presentation I’m going to discuss my journey over the past 15 years to unexpected places, collaborations, and findings to demonstrate some different ways in which we as biomechanists can improve people’s lives.
Ajit Chaudhari, PhD, FACSM has been a faculty member at Ohio State University since 2006. He is the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and Diversity Chair of the American Society of Biomechanics. His research has been sponsored by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, National Football League, National Highway & Transportation Safety Administration, and industrial sponsors.
