Allen\u2019s proposal was centered on developing better computational models for simulating gait rehabilitation. The computational modeling approach that Allen and her lab use is referred to as neuromechanical modeling, as it focuses on modeling the interactions between the nervous system and the \u201cmechanical\u201d system of muscles and bones. These models could allow for clinical simulations of certain rehab procedures or prosthetic devices on digital versions of patients so that decisions can be made without having to actually test on that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mae.ufl.edu\/2024\/02\/09\/dr-jessica-allen-wins-prestigious-career-award-and-grant-from-national-science-foundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read More &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"clear:both\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/newengineer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/2023\/04\/Farimah-Farahmandi-500x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34755\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Farimah Farahmandi, Ph.D., Department of Electrical and Engineering Department<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farahmandi Receives NSF CAREER Award for AI-Assisted Security Verification Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walden C.
