Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery
University of Utah
Dr. Uhlrich directs the Movement Bioengineering Lab at the University of Utah, where he is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery. His research aims to improve human mobility using scalable digital health technology. His work leverages computational biomechanics, machine learning, mobile sensing, and imaging with applications in neuromuscular diseases, osteoarthritis, and aging. His group develops open-source software for movement analysis using smartphone video (OpenCap), which enables large out-of-lab biomechanics studies. Using this technology, he is particularly interested in developing digital outcome measures for movement-related conditions, like FSHD. Dr. Uhlrich received his MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. After a postdoctoral fellowship in Bioengineering at Stanford, he became the Director of Research at the Stanford Human Performance Laboratory. Dr. Uhlrich has received the ASB Early Career Award and OARSI Young Investigator Award.
