Edward (Mingi) Chu completed his Bachelor's in Health Sciences at McMaster University, specializing in Child Health. He then completed his Master's in Health Information Sciences at the University of Western Ontario and is currently pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on using machine learning-based image processing techniques to assess risk of osteoporotic hip fractures.
Emelyn Kupinski completed her B. Eng. in Mechanical Engineering at McMaster University, where she developed her interest in biomechanics through coursework and her final-year capstone project. She is currently working towards her M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. Her project involves developing an instrumented foot and ankle surrogate to quantify ice hockey puck impacts on skates, which can inform future skate designs and new testing standards focused on injury prevention.
Aryen Shakib completed his BASc and MASc degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Windsor. He joined the Injury Biomechanics Lab in 2022, where he is currently pursuing his PhD in Biomedical Engineering. His research is focused on the development of a thoracic Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) to evaluate rib and sternum fracture for males and females subjected to behind armour blunt trauma.
Carson Brewer completed his undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph, where he studied Biomedical Engineering with a focus on biomechanics and signal processing. He is currently working toward his PhD in Mechanical Engineering. His research is focused on the development of an instrumented upper limb sleeve to locate and capture discrete high loading regions during blunt trauma.
Taylor Kramer completed her undergraduate degree in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at McMaster University and is currently pursuing an accelerated MASc in the Injury Biomechanics lab through the School of Biomedical Engineering. Her project focusses on implementing image processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to predict the risk of osteoporotic vertebral fracture in the lumbar spine.
Aiden Delaney completed his degree in Integrated Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering and Health Sciences at McMaster in 2024. He is currently working towards a MASc in the School of Biomedical Engineering at McMaster. At present, his research centres on factors affecting the risk of osteoporotic hip fracture and the use of predictive algorithms to assess said risk.
Morgan Pluim completed her BScH in Kinesiology at Queen's University. She is currently pursuing a MASc in Biomedical Engineering. Her research is focused on investigating the injury limits of the upper limb in ice hockey to inform future protective equipment standards.
