Benoit arrived in the LABO very recently and started his PhD research on chest deformation. He is using medical imaging embedded in clinical protocols in order to collect morphological and deformation data of the chest as whole, and for each independent rib components, sternum components and costal cartilage, and the relationships with the spine. He is using data collected on healthy volunteers and mucovisidosis patients. Computational anatomy and biomechanical methods based on the in-house lhpFusionBox is used for data visualisation and result acquisition.

Jérome arrived at LABO in 2010. His PhD research mainly focused on the development of a clinical and biomechanical protocol that would allow a better customization of digitial finger orthoses. His research includes several aspects such as: in-vitro data collection to better understand finger kinematics, in-vivo motion analysis protocols to create a database of normal subjects performing several grasping tasks, 3D modelling of the musculoskeletal hand and fingers using the LABO computational tools and orthosis development.

Clara arrived very recently in the LABO to achieve a PhD on velocity profiles. She analyses the distribution of gait velocity using spatio-temporal parameters, center of pressure and plantar contact areas in normal and low back pain subjects. This research has the ambition to develop a new method to investigate and assess gait disorders in pathological groups.

Victor owns a PhD in Applied Mathematics of the University of Saint Petersburg (obtained in 1981). Before starting at LABO in 2000, he had a position as Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Saint Petersburg. His main expertises include the developments of computational methods based on optimization procedures and multiple regression algorithms. These methods are based on in-vitro and in-vivo data collected during the researches of the other LABO members to answer local and litterature needs. His solutions address a variety of topics such as the estimation of joint centers, the optimization of motion data for model-based development, hardware solution development (including validation and calibration), etc. Most of the developed method are then implemented in the in-house lhpFusionBox sotfware to be used by non-technical users. Victor published more than 40 papers and several books.
