This award is granted to Dr. Gavin Lenton, a postdoctoral research fellow under the supervision of Prof. David Lloyd from Griffith University. Dr. Lenton’ research focuses on musculoskeletal biomechanics. He will present his work at the 2018 World Congress of Biomechanics, which will be held on 8 July 2018 in Dublin, Ireland.

It was a very difficult decision with such high-quality applications for the awards, and we would like to thank all the applicants in various fields of study for their participation and all of the Award Committee members for their evaluation of the abundant excellent applications.
