Peter C Fino

Peter Fino, PhD is a Professor of Health & Kinesiology in the College of Health, with additional adjunct appointments in the Departments of Physical Therapy & Athletic Training, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and the Robotics Program at the University of Utah. He received his BSE in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech prior to his postdoctoral training in Human Balance Control and Rehabilitation at Oregon Health & Science University. At the University of Utah, he leads the Neuromechanics & Applied Locomotion research team that studies the biomechanics and neural control of real-world balance and locomotion. With an interdisciplinary and translational science approach, his research applies that mechanistic insight of locomotor control, with the help of digital health technologies and wearable robotics, to improve clinical decisions and rehabilitation approaches for people wi
