SAMUEL C.K. LEE, Ph.D.
DIRECTOR & ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Welcome to the Biomechanics and Movement Sciences Interdisciplinary Program! The BIOMS program comprises faculty from the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Health Sciences who use an interdisciplinary approach to research and graduate education.
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I chose UD because of the interdisciplinary focus of the BIOMS program and the research expertise of the faculty, as well as the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses.
I found all of the courses to be relevant to the development and progression of my dissertation project!

Professor invites patients to ‘Physical Activity Party‘

Weight control, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stronger bones, stronger muscles, improved mood – the benefits of physical activity are many, yet it is the most underutilized intervention by health professionals, which is somewhat surprising.
DRI is the leading national center for physical rehabilitation research
Tom Buchanan is director of the Delaware Rehabilitation Institute, which brings together faculty across the UD campus to study physical rehabilitation. His work in biomechanics has applications to osteoarthritis, stroke and sports medicine.
