2024-01-25Dr. Jordan as Associate Editor of JMMBDavid Jordan, PhD, is appointed Associate Editor for the Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology (JMMB). JMMB is the first journal to publish original research articles in fields of mechanics in medicine and biology. The scope of JMMB includes, but is not limited to, biomechanics, clinical biomechanics, biomaterials, mathematical modeling, bio-nanotechnology, neuromuscular mechanics and others. David will work alongside colleagues to contribute to the editorial process for articles submitted to JMMB. Congratulations, David!
2024-01-15Postdoctoral fellowshipCongratulations to David Jordan, PhD, on being awarded the 2024 BIO5 Postdoctoral Fellowship. The fellowship supports his project of Preliminary Biomechanical Evaluation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis. The purposes of the project are to identify patients with concurrent cases of carpal tunnel syndrome and trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis and to compare the hand function of these individuals.
