The LTU Experimental Biomechanics Laboratory (EBL) provides practical training to engineering and biomedical students and research to advance the boundary of biomechanics knowledge through translational research and wearable technology design. The EBL combines in vivo testing of human and animal subjects with cadaver and surrogate in vitro models and computer simulations to understand normal health, acute injury and degenerative mechanisms. Collaborations with clinicians and the medical device industry aim to develop preventative and regenerative treatments for bone and soft tissue damage and disease. The Wearable Technology Innovation Center (WTIC) provides practical, hands-on experiences to students focused around the topics of sensing, perception, and control in next generation robotics, haptics, quantified-self, and protective devices. Collaborations with engineers, designers, users, educators and industry aim to develop the frameworks for the mechanical, electrical and software systems that are necessary for the next generation of wearable technology consumer products.As an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Meyer teaches undergraduate, electives and graduate courses. He helped to implement a cohesive, four-year multidisciplinary engineering design program focused on creating entrepreneurially minded engineers. Meyer has developed course modules and trained other faculty as part of grants from the Kern Family Foundation. He has also developed Course Based Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CRE) projects as part of a LTU grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In addition, Dr. Meyer offers outreach programs for high school students and advises many projects for undergraduates and graduate students. Meyer has published one book chapter and 42 peer-reviewed journal and conference proceeding articles that have received more than 2000 citations. He has given more than 100 conference, workshop and invited presentations.Meyer grew up in Oakland Co., MI and graduated from Brandon HS and OSMTech charter HS in Clarkston. He received his BS, MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering (Biomechanics) from Michigan State University, while also spending a semester at the Katholiek University of Lueven, Belgium for a study abroad program. The primary topic of his research was lower extremity biomechanics during sports injury. He then completed post-doctoral training at the Centre for Bioengineering at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland in cartilage tissue engineering and mechanobiology.
