She\u2019s excited for the spring semester, when she\u2019ll co-teach E4 (Intro to Engineering Design &amp; Manufacturing) and teach E164 (Intro to Biomedical Engineering). She\u2019s building the Harvey Mudd Biomechanics Lab, where she and her students study human movement, injury prevention and performance using medical imaging, musculoskeletal simulation and wearable sensors.

It might not be very necessary on our campus, but perhaps it could enable some fun field trips to various labs and companies that do work aligned with our own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h5\">Are you studying or learning something new?

I found it very interesting, especially given the circumstances of the deaths of my grandmothers over the past two years. I also just enjoy <em>The Interview<\/em> on the whole. It introduces new perspectives and lets listeners in to the lives of people we often don\u2019t feel connected to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h5\">What is the last concert you attended?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Train and REO Speedwagon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor of Engineering Marissa Sinopoli \u201918 joined the HMC faculty in July 2024.
