Upcoming events.
2026 Systems Biomechanics of the Horse Symposium
This symposium will bring together experts across mathematics, engineering, computer science, biology, and equine science to advance the understanding of the horse-human dyad as a coupled physiological and biomechanical system. This event is designed to bridge disciplinary boundaries and create new collaborations among researchers working at the interface of mathematical modeling, artificial intelligence, wearable sensors, and animal biomechanics. By focusing on the horse-human system, the participants will develop a framework for studying multiscale dynamics, control, and information transfer.
Horses in Motion: A History of the Biomechanics of Movement
This course explores the evolution of equine movement, the impact of selective breeding, and the science behind horse gaits. We examine how modern technology, like high-speed videography and motion tracking, enhances our understanding of biomechanics. The seminar includes live demonstrations at the Al Marah Equine Center, connecting history, science, and innovation. Rescheduled for March 2026.
2024 Systems Biomechanics of the Horse Symposium
This symposium brought together experts in equine professionals and mathematicians to explore kinematic analysis, computational modeling, and equine gait assessment. The event featured tutorials, live demonstrations, and the introduction of Equi-Pro®, an advanced gait analysis tool.
