Biography

Jonathan Dingwell focuses on biomechanics and the dynamics of neuromuscular control processes that govern complex adaptive human movements, with a primary emphasis on improving human health. He is part of the Kinesiology Graduate Faculty at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Dingwell's research examines the biomechanics of human locomotion, exploring how dynamic stability is maintained during walking in both young and older adults. His work investigates virtual reality interventions that aim to improve walking stability, as well as the role of neuronal noise in movement coordination. Through his research in the Locomotion Laboratory, Dr. Dingwell conducts both basic science and clinically relevant studies, utilizing experimental modeling approaches derived from nonlinear dynamical systems and statistical mechanics to address questions about human movement control. His comprehensive expertise in the field of Kinesiology contributes significantly to the understanding of how humans exploit redundancy in movement to navigate complex tasks.
