BIO
Michael Rosenberg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Vermont. He completed a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina State University. He completed his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington working under Dr. Kat M. Steele to model and predict changes in gait with ankle exoskeletons. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at Emory University with mentors Dr. Lena Ting, Dr. Trisha Kesar, and Dr. Gordon Berman, where he integrated experimental design and machine learning frameworks to characterize neuromechanical gait dynamics in stroke survivors and adults with mild cognitive impairment. His training has broadly focused on modeling gait dynamics using machine learning frameworks to inform device and treatment design for people with mobility impairments. His work is inherently interdisciplinary, with collaborations spanning control theory, applied mathematics, clinical gait rehabilitation, and even music theory. At UVM, he directs the Gait Neuromechanics and Rehabilitation Lab, which focuses on developing principles and techniques to personalize gait rehabilitation for people with biomechanical, motor, and cognitive impairments.

- BME/ME 3460 - Biomechanics of Human Motion
Publications
Awards and Achievements
- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2017)
- Komor New Investigator Award from the International Technical Group on Computer Simulation (2021)
- NIH NRSA F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship (2022)
