Scott Delp is the James H. Clark Professor in the Departments of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, and, by courtesy, of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is Founding Chair of the Department of Bioengineering and Co-Director of the Center for Biomedical Computation at Stanford.
Professor Delp’s work draws on computational
mechanics, medical imaging, and neuromuscular
biology to improve treatments for neurologic and
musculoskeletal diseases. He is best known for
the development of highly realistic simulations
of the musculoskeletal system. These simulations
have been used to study neural control of movement,
mechanisms of musculoskeletal diseases, and to
design surgeries and medical devices.
