Why Is Kiisa Nishikawa Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Kiisa Nishikawa is a biomechanist, and holds the rank of Regents' Professor of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University. Research career Nishikawa is the principal investigator leading the Muscle and Motor Control Laboratory at Northern Arizona University , where her laboratory investigates muscle contraction, including the role of titin and developing bio-inspired control algorithms for motorized prostheses for lower limbs. Previously, Nishikawa's lab acquired an atomic force microscope in order to test how changes in the giant titin protein impact muscle mechanical properties . Nishikawa's laboratory has also developed prosthetic software, for the BiOM T2 prosthesis, and is studying whether this provides additional advantages compared to currently available commercial software.
