Thesis Title

Optimal control and predictive simulation of full-body musculoskeletal model

Research overview

The topic of my research is to use optimal control algorithm to study biomechanical problems. We track high force, high velocity sports like long jump and sprinting to understand the muscle function and coordination. We do novel prediction on models as well to understand the optimal technique and answer what-if type of research questions.
