Clark Dickerson, PhD is a Professor of Kinesiology and Health Sciences (Faculty of Health) and Canada Research Chair of Shoulder Mechanics at the University of Waterloo, where he has been since 2005. His research focuses on human musculoskeletal biomechanics, particularly of the shoulder. He earned his BSME at Alfred University, his MS in bioengineering from Clemson University, and his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Michigan. His current research interests include the development and experimental evaluation of computational shoulder models, digital ergonomics, age and disease-related shoulder disorder prevention, assessment, and mitigation, in vitro tissue mechanical characterization, and comparative and developmental shoulder mechanics. His work also extends to the design and evaluation of assistive devices, including upper limb exoskeletons and therapeutic soft robots. Dr. Dickerson is an author of over 150 peer-reviewed research articles and over 300 conference and invited talks. He is a past-president of Canadian Society for Biomechanics and current chairperson of the Board of the International Shoulder Group (a technical group of the International Society of Biomechanics). Dr. Dickerson is the current executive director of the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology at the University of Waterloo.

Jacquelyn Maciukiewicz, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in the Mobilize Clinical Biomechanics lab with Dr.Monica Maly. Her research focuses on evaluating factors that lead to worsening osteoarthritis in individuals over the age of 45.  Jacquelyn received her PhD in 2021 from the University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Dr.Clark Dickerson in the Digital Industrial Ergonomics and Shoulder Evaluation Lab. The focus of her PhD was to determine factors that affect breast cancer survivors immediately post treatment, and to investigate the feasibility of increasing strength (as a surrogate of function) in breast cancer survivors. Jacquelyn was supported through both an Ontario Graduate Scholarship and NSERC- Postgraduate Scholarship-Doctoral. Her PhD thesis was additionally supported through a grant from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
