Lise Ochej

Lise is an Interdisciplinary Engineering PhD student. She studied biomechanics and obtained a master degree with the international program Mechatronic Systems for Rehabilitation at the Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University (France). She gained experience with a 6-month internship as a full-time motion capture research engineer at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne where she analyzed the variations in musician's movements during practice and concert. She is in charge of supervising the motion capture research studies of the BMEL lab at the ENPH facility and at the Orthopedic Biomechanic Research Lab (Houston). Her main research project is the development of reference frameworks to characterize the evolution of both Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy and its human homologue Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. She also conducts the pre- and post-surgery gait analysis on sheep which undergo a medical device implant, the analysis of performance and the impact of fatigue on human musculoskeletal system during rowing, and she is currently developing a gait analysis study to quantify recovery in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty.
