Phd student

Duleepa Subasinghe

Duleepa graduated from the University of Kelaniya Srilanka with a BS in Physics and From the University of Colombo Srilanka with an MS in Applied Electronics. He has a strong focus on rehabilitation and sports biomechanics. With a passion for understanding human movement and optimizing performance, Duleepa looks forward to being actively involved in research combining his biomechanics expertise with his interest in helping individuals recover from injuries and enhance their athletic abilities. His current research is focused on the effects of exoskeleton use and adaptation.

Undergraduate Researcher

Jordan McDowell

Jordan’s research interests are in Human Performance Enhancement, Rehabilitation, and Prototyping. He plans on using these interests to work in the field of athletics in order to help them perform at the maximum level while keeping their bodies under the least amount of stress.

Jordan has experience in Mechanical Engineering, Software design, as well as coding that has been used to design new products and design interfaces.

Undergraduate researcher

Eidris Karim Shamshir Karim

His current interests include human factors, human ergonomics, biomechanics and sports. He looks forward to combining these interests in the lab and learning more about new paths in Industrial Engineering.

Outside of the lab, Eidris likes playing soccer, watching most sports, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and listening to music.

Undergraduate Researcher

Nea Xhindi

My name is Nea Xhindi, and I am a sophomore studying Industrial Engineering here at Clemson University. My area of interest in research is female running biomechanics. I plan on using my interest to help female athletes perform at a higher level. Outside of the lab and school work, I am involved in Student Government and helping the Clemson community!
