Biography

Jonas Rubenson's research aims to identify the fundamental principles underlying muscle function and locomotion, with a particular focus on the in vivo function and movement relationship with muscle mechanics and locomotor energetics. He is a member of the Kinesiology Graduate Faculty and has a Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the University of Western Australia. His expertise lies in mechanics and energetics related to locomotion, specifically the functions of skeletal muscle and the musculoskeletal structure. His work integrates experimental modeling approaches to study gait, muscle function, and locomotion, particularly in the context of health, disease, and impairment. His research seeks to elucidate the relationship between joint and muscle mechanics as well as the metabolic energetics that influence locomotor adaptation and optimization.
