Janneke Schwaner and Philipp Rothemund awarded prestigious grant through the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities
The scientists receive funding for 'Tails in Motion' project
The project is a step forward in the fundamental understanding of how muscles and tendons work together to control movement. The cutting-edge simulations and robotic systems developed may revolutionize the design of agile and maneuverable robots, inspiring a new generation of high-performing bioinspired robots.

Janneke Schwaner receives the Dr Jacquelin Perry Emerging Female Scientist Award
Every two years the International Society of Biomechanics awards the Jacquelin Perry Emerging Scientist Award. This price is awarded in honor of Professor Jacquelin Perry and her pioneering contribution to the science and application of biomechanics, in particular in the area of gait analysis and rehabilitation. The award is designed to acknowledge female researchers who have performed superior biomechanics research early in their career.
