Marquette engineering professor receives research award
Dr. Robert Scheidt, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Marquette University, has received the university’s 2009 Way Klingler Faculty Fellowship Award in the sciences. His award provides $50,000 annually over three years to advance his research and scholarship.
Scheidt is researching sensorimotor learning — the process by which the brain learns to control limb posture and movement, such as reaching and interacting with dynamic objects. “Think about the challenge of bringing a spoonful of peas to your mouth without spilling,” said Scheidt, “where the goal is to stabilize the spoon as you move it toward its goal.”
