2] ASB 2016

Written by Pilwon Hur (2016/8/5)

This year, American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) was held in Raleigh, NC from 8/2-8/5. As we did last year, the whole group attended ASB.

We flew from Houston to Atlanta. From Atlanta, we rented two cars and drove to the Smoky mountain at Gatlinburg, TN. Next day, after staying at a cabin one night, we visited Clingmans Dome. At the Clingmans Dome, I understood that why this mountain is called the Smoky mountain. In the afternoon, we drove to Raleigh via Charlott.

The conference itself was very informative and helpful to all of us. Specifically, for about the half of the students, it was their first conference. They learned various research in this field and became interactive with many other students at the conferences. They asked questions to researchers and shared their contacts.

Well, we also enjoyed 5k running early in the morning. To be honest, it was for Dan. At the end, Woolim and I almost walked.

At the conference, we presented 5 studies. Three of them were poster presentation, one was podium and one was thematic poster.

Next year, ASB will be held in Boulder, CO. I don't know if the whole group can travel together again next year.

However, this is HUR Group and all group members will be together.

I am attaching only a few pictures.
