Caroline Nealon

Caroline Nealon received her Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Virginia. During her time as an undergraduate student, Caroline worked as a Research Assistant at UVA’s Motion Analysis and Motor Performance Lab, working with Vicon motion capture systems, OpenSim, and other biomechanical systems to analyze human and rodent movement. She spent much of this time developing MATLAB programs and pipelines to manipulate musculoskeletal models and visualize data obtained in the lab. In addition, Caroline completed a Department of Defense internship with USARIEM (U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine), where she worked on motion capture via inertial movement units and model building for a study investigating the biomechanical effects of lower-limb exoskeletons. In her final year at UVA, Caroline worked as an intern at Biocore before starting full-time as a member of the helmets team.
