Summary
Mack Gardner-Morse is a research engineer and mechanical engineer with over three decades of experience spanning aerospace and biomechanics, currently applying 25 years of biomechanics expertise at the University of Vermont. He combines deep analytical skills in MATLAB and FORTRAN with hands-on design and fabrication—creating test rigs, LabVIEW control systems, and custom measurement tools to validate finite element and electrochemical poroelastic models. His work bridges scales from cartilage contact stresses to whole-structure behavior, and he has authored over 40 peer-reviewed articles translating experiments into validated computational models. Notably, he develops interactive data-processing tools that remove manual error sources and streamline complex analyses like PCA of EMG and six-degree-of-freedom stiffness characterization. Based in Burlington, Vermont, Mack is equally comfortable writing numerical solvers, crafting CAD fixtures, and designing experiments that reveal subtle mechanical behavior in biological tissues.
