Associate Head Functional Biomechanics Group

Corina received her M.Sc. from ETH Zurich and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Basel. She has directed the Basel Functional Biomechanics Laboratory since 2015. Corina's research interests include biomechanical and neuromuscular adaptations in patients with osteoarthritis and application of pattern recognition methods for the analysis of motion and EMG data.

Simon received his Master of Science in Sport Science from the University of Basel in 2018. He joined the BFBL in 2019 as a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel and studies the dose response relationship of ambulatory load magnitude and the mechanoresponse of articular cartilage.

Linda received her Master of Science in Sport Science (Movement and Technology from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2020. She already conducted her Master thesis research at the BFBL in 2019 and is currently a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel. Linda studies biomechanical outcome of surgical repair in patients with ACL injury in comparison to patients with ACL reconstruction and age-matched healthy controls.
