M.K. MacLean

MacLean is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomechanical Engineering at the University of Twente's Faculty of Engineering Technology. His research focuses on improving mobility for individuals with motor impairments through wearable robotics and advancing understanding of human movement biomechanics.

Education:

• MEng Biomedical Engineering, University of Glasgow
• MSc (transitioned to PhD lab) in Kinesiology, University of Michigan
• PhD in Biomechanics (2020), University of Florida

Current research integrates neuromechanical principles into wearable robot design, targeting applications for Parkinson's patients and motor control studies. Secondary interests include human-robot interaction dynamics, real-world gait monitoring, and adaptive learning systems within exoskeletons.

Publication Trends (2019-2024) reveal consistent focus on exoskeleton mechanics, gait adaptation, and musculoskeletal modeling, with recent emphasis on iterative control systems and real-world monitoring algorithms.
