Apply to Attend Frontiers of Human Performance Short Course
July 14-19, 2024, Grand Teton National Park, WY, USA
Application Deadline: March 15, 2024

This summer, the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Stanford University<http://humanperformance.stanford.edu/> is organizing the inaugural Frontiers of Human Performance<https://humanperformance.stanford.edu/frontiers/> summer course. The event will convene researchers from biomechanics, computer science, neuroscience, and medicine, who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of health and human performance research. In this first year, the event will place special focus on computational approaches to biomechanics, exoskeletons, ACL injury prevention, and computer vision. The course will provide lectures from faculty in these areas, as well as opportunities for students and fellows to present their research. Our goal for the meeting is to seed novel research, build new collaborations, and inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators.

Graduate Students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Early Career Faculty: Please complete the short application<https://forms.gle/LKwkXZs5oDAWa97h6> by March 15.
