Scott
Delp is a Professor of Bioengineering and Mechanical
Engineering
(and of Orthopaedic Surgery, by courtesy). He is Founding Chair of the Department
of Bioengineering and Co-Director of the Center
for Biomedical Computation at Stanford.
Professor Delp’s work draws on computational
mechanics, medical imaging, and neuromuscular
biology to improve treatments for neurologic and
musculoskeletal diseases. He is best known for
the development of highly realistic simulations
of the musculoskeletal system. These simulations
have been used to study neural control of movement,
mechanisms of musculoskeletal diseases, and to
design surgeries and medical devices.
