ECR Spotlight – Corbin Rasmussen

Abstract

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Corbin Rasmussen is an author on ‘ Curvilinear walking elevates fall risk and modulates slip and compensatory step attributes after unconstrained human slips’, published in JEB. Corbin conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Nathaniel H. Hunt's lab at the Department of Biomechanics, University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA. Corbin is now a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the lab of Sara A. Myers, at the Department of Biomechanics, University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA, investigating the mechanisms of human balance recovery across commonly encountered walking environments and tasks.
