Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiddick Ryan is a biomechatronics engineer and postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience designing lower-limb prostheses, exoskeletons, and experimental setups that probe human locomotor energetics. Based at the University of Queensland, he leads work on a foot exoskeleton that combines biomechanics, morphology, and passive mechanics to test evolutionary and functional hypotheses about human gait. His background includes PhD research at the University of Michigan on energetics and dynamic simulation, hands-on prosthesis experiments at VA/Brown, and mechanical foot design at the University of Calgary, giving him rare fluency across motion capture, force/IMU data, and computational models. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable in the lab building hardware and in code/analysis explaining the underlying dynamics, and he brings a track record of publishing experimental studies that tie empirical data to fundamental models. An unexpected strength is his experience integrating creative experimental apparatus—drawing from work on exoskeletons and even experimental music setups—to reveal new ways of measuring human movement.
