Congratulations to Ricardo Matias on becoming the newest OpenSim Fellow.
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. Read more about the
