• SPAN: Simulated parallel annealing by neighborhood ( Software )
  

  The SPAN source code is intended to facilitate dynamic optimization using a global search strategy on a computer cluster. Source code is provided as well as a simple application on a geometric problem. SPAN has also been applied to solve for muscle excitations during pedaling and walking (Higginson et al., 2006).
  
  Keywords: musculoskeletal simulation, Optimization, source code

• Stroke gait ( Software )
  

  This project involves the generation of subject-specific simulations of a range of post-stroke hemiparetic gait patterns, contribution of parallel optimization techniques, comparison of control algorithms, and analysis of 2D and 3D results.
  
  Keywords: gait, model dimensionality, muscle function, sensitivity analysis, stroke
