Seminar Series

Promoting high-quality research. The UNO Biomechanics Seminar Series is held every Friday during the academic year at noon.

About the Seminar Series

The focus of the seminar series is to call for experts related to academia and research in the areas related to biomechanics, variability, motor disorders, physical therapy, and related studies.

The series includes local and nationally renowned professors and specialists presenting findings, stimulating thinking, and creating collaboration ideas for the UNO students and faculty.

If you are interested in presenting, please contact Dr. Nick Stergiou at nstergiou@unomaha.edu.

Fliers with more information on each presentation will be posted at least one week prior to the presentation date.
