Ricardo Matias is a senior researcher in the Neuromechanics of Human Movement Research Group at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. He was an OpenSim Visiting Scholar in 2015 and recently ran an introductory OpenSim workshop at the International Shoulder Group Annual Meeting, highlighting uses of the new OpenSim shoulder model <https://simtk.org/projects/scapulothoracic> he helped develop. This honor from the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) recognizes a strong commitment to the OpenSim community and a deep expertise in biomechanical modeling and simulation.

*Apply for the NCSRR/OpenSim Visiting Scholars Program* *Summer 2017 at the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research, Stanford University* The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) based at Stanford University is now accepting applications for the 2017 Visiting Scholars Program. The program is a unique experience that fosters expertise and collaborations in biomechanical simulations for rehabilitation research. Up to four individuals will be chosen to visit the NCSRR at Stanford University for a 5-week period during the summer of 2017, from mid-June to mid-July. Each visiting scholar will be reimbursed for their travel and living expenses up to $8,000. During their visits, awardees will receive training and mentoring to help them reach their research goals. They will have the opportunity to participate in formal meetings, discussions with OpenSim experts, and brainstorming sessions with their fellow visiting scholars to advance their research and the OpenSim project. The Visiting Scholars Program is intended for faculty members and postdoctoral fellows with exceptional skills in biomechanics, simulation, and computer science, who will advance the field of movement science through the development of new software, biomechanical models, and outstanding research. Applications are due Midnight PST, February 3, 2017.
