Jere Lavikainen
Postdoctoral Researcher
Postdoctoral researcher in human motion measurement and analysis
Department of Technical Physics, Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology
My research involves measurement and analysis of human motion, particularly walking. Some of my points of focus are:
- Markerless motion capture
- Wearable motion sensors and inertial measurement units
- Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation
- Estimation of knee contact forces
- Machine learning in motion analysis
- Real-time analysis methods
- Open data
Please contact me via email ([email protected]) if you wish to discuss my work, potential collaboration, or simply have a question for me.
